I’m a junior right now. Lacrosse will also be a hook for me. I did summer study programs for two summers, but I’m doing lacrosse show cases this year.

PSAT: 202(Sophomore year…)(80 Math, 550 CR, 670 WS)
Should I try to make my scores: 80 MAth, 700 CR, 700 WS? Would making my CR and WS higher help a large amount?

Mu Alpha Theta Honors society 3rd place national prize winner for a stat project
APs: APWH(5), AP Stats(4), AP Micro(5), AP Physics, AP BC Calc, APUSH
Top 10% of my class, Dual sport varsity athlete, on merit/athletic/need scholarship to a New England Prep school(From TN as well; Not the usual area).

My GPA is a 5.0-4.8/6.0 unweighted.

Junior year classes: AP Phyics, AP BC Calc, APUSH, English, Honors Bio
Senior year Classes: AP Bio, Post-Calc, English, AP Chemistry(Or not) and three term contained courses or I can take an AP History. I was thinking about Con law, Capitalism and business ethics for three term contained courses…

I’m a big Model UN guy, Math Team, I participate in REACH(Community help), Investment Club, Republican Club, School lit magazine and I think I will be an AP Scholar with distinctions.

I attend a boarding school in the NE(On scholarship; Merit, Athletic and Need).

What are my chances? Anything I should focus on? Am I a long shot? Should I apply ED/RD?
I may need financial aid, if I got in ED and my family can’t pay what happens?
