<p>So I have been doing a lot of thinking about college, and I'm getting kind of nervous! I'm afraid I'm aiming to high with my college choices and I wanted to know a few colleges that would be good fits for me and my resume.
Right now, I've been thinking mostly about:
Emory, Georgetown, Claremont McKenna, and UW Honors
I know these are extremely difficult schools to get into and that's why I need advice!
I am a junior and have a 4.0 gpa (unweighted? I'm not really sure...I've gotten A's in every class)
At my school if you get a 4.0 you are automatically valedictorian so assuming I keep my grades up I will be valedictorian in the top 1% of my class.
My SAT's are not pretty. I got a 690 reading, 660 math, 660 writing. I am hoping to raise these soon. I have taked 2 sat II's 730 biology and 720 American History. I am taking the ACT next month.
I have a lot of extracurriculars (sports, newspaper, president of NHS) and volunteer (boys and girls club, 6 weeks in kenya) I don't really want to go into that much detail...
I'm not sure what I want to do, but maybe something with biology/international health or international relations. Not really sure.
Oh yeah and I've taken 5 APs but I don't have any scores yet.
So good fits for me that are possibly a little less competitive than the schools above?
THANK YOU!</p>
<p>What about those schools do you like? Do you have limitations geographically or socially we should consider (not in the South, has a good -insert sport here- team, etc)? I assure you’re in Washington.</p>
<p>yes I’m in Washington…let’s see, I don’t really have any requirements, just a good academic school, and I’m open to lots of sizes though preferably not TOO big. Maybe shy away from the midwest a little too…</p>
