<p>(I’m a junior & I’m looking to apply to ivy league schools, such as Columbia.)
- Does it matter how many SAT IIs I take and what subjects I take them in?
- Also, how important are APs scores? I took AP world last year and I only got a 3
I’m taking more AP exams this year, hopefully I’ll score higher. - Is it true that colleges like to see an “upward trend” in grades? I did bad in math freshman year but now I have a 90+
- I’m taking a Photoshop graphic design class (as part of my school schedule) and I recently passed the Adobe Certification Exam. I’m wondering: Can this be considered an “Academic Achievement”? & If I show that I have passion and prowess in Photoshop and graphic design, will it make me more of a “well-rounded” student? Even if I don’t want to major in art?
Thanks for any help!
P.S. I’m sorry if this seems like too many questions</p>
