Best Choices for College

<p>Can people tell me some good choices for college based on my stats? Thanks.</p>

<p>I got a 1980 on my SATs (690M, 630V, 660W)
I did terribly on my SATIIs with a 500 French, 530 Math IIC, 730 Biology
I got a 4 on the AP Bio test</p>

<p>I think I have a 3.6 unweighted GPA and a 3.7 or higer weighted. At my school, GPAs can't exceed 4.0. My average is about a 95 which is probably a better GPA at other schools.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about my ranking because my school doesn't use it. Junior year I know I was one of the top 8 in the class because we were featured in the graduation but I don't know about now. My guidance counselor marked top 10% on my applications, though.</p>

<p>In my junior year I took AP Biology (online), Honors English (AP didn't fit in my schedule), and AP US History. This year I'm taking AP Lang&Comp, Honors Gov. and Ec., AP Chemistry (online), Honors Calc, and Honors French V. I'm also teaching myself Spanish because Honors Spanish V is the same period as Honors French V. The only AP classes I didn't take were AP Physics (I took physics junior year though) and AP Lit&Comp (because of scheduling).</p>

<p>My credits are as follows:
Science:6
Math:5
Foreign Language: 8 (4 French, 4 Spanish)
English: 4.5
Social Studies:4.5</p>

<p>My ECs are:
NHS - 9 to 12
SNHS - 9 to 12
FNHS - 10 to 12
Senior Class Treasurer
Lit. Magazine - 9,12 (Co-Editor-in-Chief)
Yearbook - 9 to 12 (Section Editor & Staff Writer 9,10,11; Chief Financial Officer & Senior Editor 12)
Newspaper - 9 to 12 (Staff Writer 9,10,11; Editor of Entertainment Section 12)
Track and Field - 11
Model United Nations - 10
Environmental Club - 10,11,12 (unofficial treasurer)
Reading Olympics - 9,10
Middle School Book Club - 12 (Founder; ran for 7th and 8th graders)</p>

<p>ok. you have to narrow it down a bit. there are hundreds and hundreds of colleges out there. what are you looking for in a school?</p>

<p>I'm interesting in creative writing, pre-med, and languages.</p>

<p>ok lets try again.
big/small? part of the country? city/suburban/rural? artsy vs preppy vs jocks etc etc?</p>

<p>ooh, sorry</p>

<p>i don't really have an opinion when it comes to that. i'm not big on sports so a jock filled school wouldn't suit me. in high school i have preppy friends, artsy friends, nerdy friends, and pothead friends so i basically get along with any of those people. i live in the suburbs now but i'd have no problem with a college in the city. for rural, it depends how rural. i also don't have a problem with size of the school. i don't want some place so small that each class has only 100 people but 300's fine. and a place like NYU with i don't even know how many people would be fine, too.</p>

<p>now that u mention it, u could try for NYU, also look at some LACs</p>
