Yes, I understand that there’s no certainty of being accepted at top schools, and they definitely won’t be my only targets. But despite that, I’d like to make the most of my senior year. I’m mainly concerned about the free period, Chem vs. Physics 2, and AP Stats in my context.
As for safeties, I’m in Washington state. I know UW also has a low acceptance rate for CS, so I wouldn’t consider it a safety.
