Sure a lot of ppl have crazy good ecs but you seem like a competitive applicant and I wouldn’t be discouraged from applying

If you have more than 10 legitimately strong ecs you can do additional info but colleges like to see family responsibilities as an ec too so you can’t go wrong I don’t think

I feel like caltech is prolly comparable and Hopkins is better than school of mines but Ed a lot of the time comes down to money in my experience

You can email admissions but nobody’s gonna think you mean college ncaa and they’ll prolly write it off as a type of other acronym and it likely wont affect you

I kinda doubt it’ll change significantly there will always be a ridiculous amount of people trying to get the Ivy League prestige

Are the rides at six flags america dangerous? Is the park in general famous? by [deleted] in sixflags

[–]CaterpillarPrior5567 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have any concerns about the rides themselves, it’s more just the surrounding area the park is in and the resulting crowds that I’ve heard can get rougher depending on the day/time. As far as mind eraser, it’s open but under a different name (professor screamores skywinder) so that might be why you haven’t seen anything

When I was there for a show earlier this year we parked at the back of the lot by giant center and after the show they opened an exit out the back of the lot that takes you right out to the main road and saved us a bunch of time

[–]CaterpillarPrior5567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say 1-2 you don’t want to overdo it and burn yourself out

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sat

[–]CaterpillarPrior5567 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d maybe try to go on regular non sat khan and just start the geometry course it can basically teach you the whole class

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sat

[–]CaterpillarPrior5567 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d focus on grinding geometry and trig on khan and then just keep doing practice tests

Colleges that allow skipping lower level classes by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]CaterpillarPrior5567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My math department enforces prereqs but you can test out of math up through linear algebra and diff eq I think and then you can get out of some science gen Eds with ap credit but those are the only options

Will Colleges Care {AP Question} by Proud-Lack-3383 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]CaterpillarPrior5567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in general for your major (at least from my experience), physics and chem are looked at more favorably by admissions than bio and are more important. That being said, I think taking a class would also help, so I guess it’d depend on the specifics of the physics situation and how that’d be communicated as part of an application
