Any Advice? Chance Me?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi CC,
I'm a junior at a public HS (pretty competitive) in Pennsylvania. As a junior, I'm surrounded by college chatter all day, every day, and I'm starting to become nervous. Honestly, I just want to know what tier of schools I should be looking at.
Here are my stats:
GPA 3.7 UW/4.2 W
PSAT: 2020, 1350 CR + M (I've been studying a lot so hopefully 2100+)
ACT: I took it a few weeks ago, will get back soon (32s and 33s on practice tests)
AP Tests: Euro (3)... I was an unmotivated sophomore :(
Courseload:
Freshman-
Stuff. No APs, only UW GPA. 3.69
Sophomore-
AP Euro, A
Honors Bio, B
Honors Eng, A-
Spanish, B+
Accelerated Pre Calc, B
Electives- All As
Junior-
AP Lang- A
AP Stat- B
Honors Gov- A
AP Calc AB- Let's not talk about this, I'm probably dropping (Don't take two AP maths at the same time it's horrible trust me many tears have been teared)</p>

<p>ECs:
President of club, positions in other clubs, varsity XC and track, NHS, volunteering (idk how much), pre-collegiate programs, blah blah blah etc</p>

<p>Honors:
Hopefully AP Scholar
NMS Commended (does this matter at all?)
Essay competitions</p>

<p>Other:
I can write a pretty good college essay (have practiced)
My guidance counselor loves me. A lot.
I've been through a ton in the past couple of years, missed a lot of school, admitted to hospital (will probably put in "additional info" section, maybe/maybe not essay)
High income</p>

<p>I don't know what else you guys need from me tell me in the comments</p>

<p>ANYWAYS most importantly what caliber of schools should I be looking at?? I have a list of schools (they may be very random sounding but I like all of them it's not a randomized assortment). Which ones are reaches? Matches? Safeties? Thank you!!!!!!!!!! (Additionally, I have compiled a pretty good list of safeties, so no fear)</p>

<p>University of Maryland
George Washington
Rutgers (Honors College?)
UConn
Georgetown (I can dream)
St. Lawrence (NY)
Syracuse
Skidmore
Lafayette
UMass
Northeastern
URochester
Purdue
Union (NY)
DePaul
Columbia (Dreams more aggressively)</p>

<p>Georgetown and Columbia are stretches without really solid SAT scores to back you up, but I think you’d be fine for all the others. Rutgers OOS may be a little harder. The others all vary from matches to safeties in my opinion.</p>

<p>Thank you! :smiley: </p>

<p>Very realistic shot at most of the colleges you list. Outside of Georgetown and Columbia, they are all matches and safeties. Columbia is a very high reach, you really need a 2200+ or 34+ ACT and to get straight As to have a shot there. Georgetown is a low reach (very attainable) but get straight As and 2100+ SAT/ 32+ACT and I think you’ve got a very good chance.</p>
