<p>i just got my SAT scores also (2280 with 680 critical reading, ouch)…you seem to have good leadership qualities, but itd also help to be able to boast state/national awards (soccer semi-state or all-state lacrosse or w/e). i think u should have a good reason for not having taken AP’s before junior year.
NDU-match (i’d say a definite yes)
JHU-match/ low reach
Georgetown-match/ low low reach
Ivies–reach for the “top” schools such as harvard, prince., yale
i suggest you take 2 or 3 more SAT II’s</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>About the AP’s, I took 3 last year and will take 3 next year. I got to a small privste school that does not concentrate on APs. I have taken as many as I can, and they have even made a special class for me this year just so I could take AP Gov, which they do not offer. Also they don’t let 9th and 10th graders take AP, which I have tried to do but was not allowed. </p>
<p>Do you think such colleges will be aware of my school’s policy?</p>
<p>If it wasn’t ur decision to not take more AP’s, then universities will recognize that the school has limitations. Most importantly, in my opinion, the counselor recommendation gives colleges a significant idea of your course-load because he/she has to comment on your course selection rigor. So, you may want to make sure that your counselor acknowledges this…id approach him/her and say, “im worried that i didnt take enough college-prep courses earlier in HS career and colleges will misinterpret this as lack of motivation or w/e, so can you explain to them the school’s policy.” But i think its important to note that i highly doubt not taking AP’s first two years will hurt ur chances.</p>
