<p>I plan on applying to 8 schools. I was wondering if my high school resume would be good enough for them.
SAT scores: 1830 (taking again in October I want a 1950.)
SAT II- French 800, US History 650.
GPA unweighted: 3.85
Weighted: 4.34</p>

<p>Extra curriculars:
JV Swimming, Varsity xc, Varisty lacrosse, President of French NHS, NHS member, French club treasurer, Spanish club VP, Key Club member, School Newspaper journalist, Student Government, Habitat for Humanity volunteer, volunteering on local government campaign, 200 hours of volunteering. Should I join more?</p>

<p>Junior year schedule: Algebra 2, AP French, APUSH, Honors English 11, Physics, Honors Accounting, International Studies. I got an A in all these classes except physics. So far I have gotten 1 B on my report card every year. Rest are A's.</p>

<p>Senior Schedule: AP Lit, AP World History, AP Computer Science, AP Government, Honors Government experiences, PreCalculus, Enviromental Science.</p>

<p>I will have taking 6 AP Classes in high school and 7 Honors.
btw I'm a white male.</p>

<p>I want to go to George Washington University (Elliot School of International Affairs), American University (SIS), Georgetown, Boston University, McGill University, Rutgers, or Lehigh University. Are my stats good enough for these schools? Which ones can I get into and what will be reach? I do have 2 safety schools in mind but didn't list them.</p>

<p>I want to double major in International studies/affairs and French or Russian. I like to learn languages. (Speak French and am learning Spanish, German, and Russian.) Will the schools like to see this especially for the international affairs major? Should I major in French since I have done very well in it?</p>

<p>Please give me advice and constructive criticism! Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Your grades are pretty good you should net a few of those 8 schools, Georgetown may be a bit of a reach though. </p>

<p>A little info on McGill’s admissions process though. Like all Canadian schools they really don’t give a dam about your extracurriculars your GPA and grades rule supreme. Also McGill almost exclusively looks at your grade 11 and 12 marks (Canadian Universities consider your freshman and sophomore high school marks really poor indicators of future success) so you should recalculate for only your last couple years. With Canadian schools there is a high self selection when applying at the undergrad level, because it is pretty much if your grades are above the listed threshold you are in, if they are not you are not in. You should check the admission standards for international students to be sure but your grades look plenty good enough to me. </p>

<p>You have a good range choices, you should do fine.</p>
