Definitely didn't phrase that as well as I had hoped to. | ||

 I just needed to say wow to this before reading the rest of the thread. You guys are all really smart. Smarter than me :/ . My guidance counselor gave me some advice on being a big fish in a small pond. I wish I could've taken it. Darn honors college, high tuition fees, and etc... But yeah, the only place I see more numbers like these are in the collegeconfidential threads... and even then -_- maybe only in the MIT/Caltech/Stanford/"Your school so you don't yell at me" acceptance thread. | ||

You should know by now that in these types people are just showing off their "e-penis". As for me: -High school GPA 2.5 --SAT score 1280ish (fell asleep half way through) -Comm. College GPA 3.01 -Currently a Senior @ UPitt (won't list GPA you search for it on TL if you want) ... according to the USNews UPitt is ranked 114 in the world something I didn't know. Take that and your 4.0s assholes!  | ||

The SAT II US History was definitely much easier than the AP US History exam, and you can take it right before the AP US History exam as well. I took it after the AP US History exam, and got a 750 with 0 studying (5 on AP US) | ||

Oh and it's really funny taking the Chinese SAT II, cause if you get anything less than a 800 you're like 10th percentile since it's all Chinese people taking it ROFL, same with AP Chinese. | ||

The same held for AP Chem (self-studied)/APUSH vs. AP Calc/Chinese though, I guess. [Incidentally, I got 800 on SAT II math level 2 but failed to get 800 on SAT Reasoning math the first time... rather ironic.] also the curve for AP Physics is ridiculous. I think I got about 60% multiple choice and 40% short answer and somehow got 5s... I think the US is just generally poor at physics D: [limiting physics courses to juniors/seniors in most places is not really a good recipe for strong physics students?] | ||

I'm in AP English, Ap Calc BC, and taking AP Physics, Stats, and Psych next year. I do cross country/track (unlikely to make varsity though). Also got a 760 on the Chem SAT II. Does anybody have any recommendations for colleges I can put on my radar or any tips for how I can increase my chances with getting into a high tier college? Dunno if this is the thread to talk about this, but... There are a lot of different things you can do, although even then, you might be a bit behind, depending on where you go to. A lot of people have different ideas on what a high tier college is really. As a general blanket statement, try to find something that you really excel at/are really passionate about, and then actually show it. whether it's through competitions, service projects, or whatever For example, you have all the math geniuses above me who did the math competition stuff to show that they're really fucking good at math. If you're really good at science, try doing a competition or a science fair project. Enter a writing competition or something of the sort if literature is your thing. Of course, raising your SAT score/GPA is generally a good way to get into any school outside of the top 20. I know many students/friends that have gotten into UC Berkeley and UCLA based solely on academics. If you're looking for more input, you should probably make a blog or something with more detailed questions. | ||
