<p>Im currently a junior in H.S., my freshman year i slacked off and got a 2.75 gpa, sophomore year I had a 3.0 gpa, and through the first semester of this year I have a 4.1 gpa. During freshman year I took 1 honors class, sophomore year I took 2 honors, and this year I am taking 2 APs and 1 honors. In October of 2009 I scored a 26 on my ACT and an 8 on the writing section (I am taking it again in March in hopes to improve to 28+). I play football, run track, and participate in several clubs if that matters. I come from a upper middle class family and will be able to afford out of state tuitions without a major scholarship.</p>
<p>Anyway here is a list of schools, in no particular order, I am considering. (Keep in mind I live in Tennessee.) Do I have a shot at any of the out of state schools?</p>
<p>Schools I believe I will have little trouble getting accepted into:
University of Tennessee: Knoxville
Middle Tennessee State University
University of Memphis</p>
<p>These are my first choices, but I am not sure if I would be accepted:
Depaul University
University of Maryland: College Park
University of North Carolina: Chapel Hill
University of Washington: Seattle
University of California: Santa Barbara
Penn State University
University of Oregon
University of Hawaii: Manoa</p>
<p>These are longshots that I may or may not even consider applying to:
Georgetown University
St. John's University</p>
