<p>Here are my stats:</p>
<p>-Crappy gpa (~3.13 unweighted after junior year, will be ~3.4 after senior year)
(~3.35 weighted after junior year, will be ~3.6 after senior year)
-took a decent amount of honors/ap classes, especially will be senior year
-2260 on SATs (1520 for math/reading), retaking and shooting for 2300.
-Haven't gotten ACTs back yet, but I thought they were easier than the SATs. so prob 34+
-Part (barely) cherokee indian, trying to apply for citizenship in the cherokee nation.
-Average extracurriculars and whatnot</p>
<p>I have absolutely no idea where my interests lie or what I might want to major in, but it'll probably be business or something in the realm of engineering. I really don't know though, so I need a lot of different options for majors once I get there. I'm looking for a school that isn't small but doesn't have to be huge. Location isn't all that important. Money isn't really a factor.</p>
<p>Assuming that my essay is extremely good, where would you suggest I apply? the more suggestions, the better :)</p>
<p>Any ideas of anything I can do to stand out to adcoms? I'm a second semester junior right now so there isn't really much I can do about the gpa. I just really wish I had put in half an ioda of effort in freshman and sophomore year..</p>
<p>If you need any more info, just ask. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>It’s not really relevant what your GPA will be AFTER senior year. you’ll be applying for college next fall. So, unless you’re planning on taking a gap year, colleges aren’t going to know that by the time you graduate your GPA will be up a bit.</p>

<p>You’re lucky that money won’t be a factor since many of the schools that “meet need” will expect a higher GPA. </p>

<p>I wonder if “barely” counts. how much Indian are you and when will you find out if you qualify for citizenship and CDIB?</p>
<p>Check out the Catholic schools. They come in a range of GPAs/SAT scores and most have good business schools and some have decent engineering. For a couple in your range, try Seattle University and Regis University. Santa Clara might be a reach with your GPA, but it’s worth a shot. For the east coast look at University of Scranton and Fordham.</p>
