<p>I am getting a job this summer and I will finally do volunteer work this summer.</p>

<p>Can anybody please recommend some schools for me?
As of now, my match/reach list is:
--UW-Madison
--UM-Twin Cities
--NYU
--Marquette U.
--Boston U.
--Loyola U. Chicago
--ANY OTHERS???(I have others but they are relatively small school not worth mentioning)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>--UW-Madison: Slight Reach/High Match
--UM-Twin Cities: Match
--NYU: Low Reach
--Marquette U.: Low Match
--Boston U.: Match</p>

<p>I'll comment on the ones I've actually done research on. Since you don't list any officer positions/how long you've done your EC's, this might not be accurate...I'm assuming you've done them for around 2-3 years </p>

<p>Is your cumulative GPA unweighted?? Or weighted?</p>

<p>If unweighted:
UW-Madison: match
--UM-Twin Cities: match
--NYU: match
--Boston U.: match</p>

<p>If weighted, this may be harder for you by a significant amount. If you took the hardest courses available at your school, you have a competitive chance. Study like a freak during the summer for the ACT and then boost your chances by 50% for admissions for a 32+ score. maybe even take a course if you lack motivation. Totally geek way to spend your time during the summer, but with endurance, it will be all worth it for your FUTURE!!</p>

<p>Consider
Univ of Michigan--Slight Reach
Tufts--Slight Reach
Penn State--Match
USC--Slight Reach
Ohio State--Match</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure my GPA is unweighted because I know for a fact that my school doesn't give 5.0's for A's in AP classes. I am taking all AP courses next year, with the exception of physics. I am planning on retaking the ACT in the fall. I am applying for part-time jobs over the summer and I would like to take a college course at a community college. My ec experiences are:</p>

<p>Layout editor for newspaper (2 years)
Writer, columnist for newspaper (3 years)
Math club computer officer (3 years)
NHS (1 year)
Knowledge Master Open (3 years)</p>

<p>Music composition (3 years) <-- not school related but it is almost like a business because I have started my website, etc.</p>

<p>Science Club (2 years)
Political Science Club (1 year)</p>

<p>This is counting my senior year, which is next year.</p>
