Are my grades good enough to get into the following schools?

<p>I am a junior and my cumulative GPA so far is around 3.6/3.9 (with an upward trend) in all honors and AP courses except math. I go to a private, Catholic high school in Florida. My (projected) GPA for junior year will be about 3.7/4.2. </p>

<p>I have a bunch of B's on my transcript (mostly from freshman year) and one C in math (sophomore year). The rest are high A's. My extracurriculars are all over the place because I haven't really found my passion yet. I'm in NHS, the National Spanish Honor Society, and I played JV Volleyball last year, and JV Basketball and Varsity Softball this year. I was president of the Astronomy club last year and I was in Science Olympiads. This year I'm in the chess club and newspaper club. I'm thinking about being a Spanish tutor this summer, and I'll get a job. </p>

<p>I haven't taken any standardized tests yet (will take them in spring). </p>

<p>I'm applying to the University of Connecticut, Stony Brook University (Early Action), Penn State, and possibly the University of South Carolina at Columbia.</p>

<p>How am I looking for those schools? Any advice, tips, anything?</p>

<p>Thanks,
Brooke</p>

<p>SAT Score?</p>

<p>“I haven’t taken any standardized tests yet (will take them in spring).”</p>

<p>and I’m not taking the SAT, I’m taking the ACT</p>

<p>Do you at least have a score from a practice test?</p>

5

<p>I’m pretty sure that UCONN and Penn State aren’t that hard to get into. Don’t know about the others. Your extracurriculars are a little scattered, but your GPA is more than enough to make up for that.</p>

6

<p>Try to focus on just a few extracurriculars from now on and try to get really involved in them.</p>

<p>A very good SAT score will help you, but it looks good!</p>
