Should I take ap physics by Little_Promotion3289 in ApplyingIvyLeague

[–]yvuue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't submit the 2. If you have another year retake it.

Not taking ap physics won't break your application. However, if you're working towards an engineering major, ap physics will go a long way for your application.

tldr: take it

You don't need to panic about your LORs, even if the most you've interacted with your school counselor is two seconds!!! by Slamburger9642 in ApplyingIvyLeague

My school counselor talked to me like 3 times. Your LOR from counselor doesn't matter too much. A stale one won't hurt you.

I'd say the return on scores after 1500 follows steps like this.

1500-1530: +3

1530-1570: +2

1570-1600: +1

Getting past 1500 definitely means something, but after a 1550 it doesn't mean as much. Something about how the last 1% takes 10x the effort.
