Schools (oos for all)

  • umich ross
  • iu kelley
  • northwestern kellog
  • purdue mcdaniels
  • uva
  • georgetown
  • usc marshall
  • ut austin mccombs
  • nyu stern

i most likely have little chance at any of these schools but i've also seen a lot of ppl with lower stats/less awards get into some of these schools on r/collegeresults idk if im just being delusional tho

EC's are pretty weak and limited bc I gave up on college apps mid sophomore year up until like 1 month ago. Lowk considering giving up now too LOL. basically using this post as a last ditch effort to decide if I should spend any more time on apps or just fully enjoy senior year… But fuck it we ball

Aside from chancing, I'd like some advice on whether or not I should switch out AP Chem for AP Calc BC. I find chemistry more interesting and the BC teacher at my school is notorious for being a horrible teacher and grader, but I would be willing to switch if it significantly impacted my chances at these hard reach schools. Thanks!
