Hey guys,
I’m an incoming high school senior at a very competitive medical magnet (one of the top schools in the state) in south Texas. Although I do go to science school, I’m planning to major in Classics and either Medieval Studies or Political Science in college (I want to go into government). I have a fairly developed college list, but could I possibly get some feedback on how well my list matches up with my stats? Thanks!
