Hi guys! I’m a first time poster here . I’m a junior right now and I think I have a pretty good list of colleges, I’m just not sure where most of them fall as far as reach/match/safety goes.
Here are my stats:
SAT I (breakdown): 1370 (M: 700 R: 670)
ACT (breakdown): 28 (yeah… it’s bad. This was with no prep and I was sick. I’ll probably focus on the SAT though)
SAT II (place score in parentheses): Will take Bio M, Spanish, and maybe Math II
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.9 (probably going down a little; junior year is really beating me up)
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): top 10%
All honors and AP classes
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parentheses):
Theater (Lead Tech; Assistant Technical Director; Directed short plays)
Academic Team (Captain)
Robotics Team (Business Team Captain)
Science Olympiad
NHS
Orientation Leader for Freshmen
Volunteer/Community Service:
Vacation Bible School (Crew Leader)
Sunday School at my Church
Summer Activities:
VBS (mentioned above)
Summer Work Study Program at my school (required of financial aid students; done during the summer to free up space in schedule during the year)
Looking at a summer job this year
Applied for Financial Aid?: Yes; must have
Intended Major: Biochemistry
State (if domestic applicant): GA
Country (if international applicant):
School Type: Private Catholic
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Male
Income Bracket: <50,000
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Low income family? Single mom?

I know my test scores are rough but they were first tries with no prep. I’m pretty confident I can make some major improvements with prep. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and offer any suggestions!
