<p>Villanova, Boston College are both reaches for me, while Northeastern and Penn State are kind of "high matches" I guess. I've started to really think about college and my resume and how I'm not sure how realistic my aspirations are. </p>
<p>First of all, Villanova on some sites say that the acceptance rate is around 48% and some say that it's around 38%. I have no clue what the true statistic is, and it's freakin' me out a little. I thought I Villanova was within my reach for a while, but now I'm starting to think that I have a pretty slim chance. </p>
<p>My stats.. (I'm in my junior year)</p>
<p>Ninth grade- 91 overall
English Pre-Ib, Geometry (a year ahead, my school takes Integrated Alg. in 9th), Biology Pre-Ib, Global History Pre-Ib, Italian 3</p>
<p>10th grade- 84 overall :(
Italian 4, English Pre-Ib, Algebra 2/Trig(a year ahead), Chemistry, Global History Pre-Ib, Adolescent Psychology, Childhood Education</p>
<p>11th grade- as of now, I have a 94 overall
IB Italian, IB English, IB Math Studies, IB Biology, IB History of the Americas, IB Theory of Knowledge, Physics</p>
<p>Unweighted overall average as of right now, halfway through Junior Year, is a 90. I hope to raise it to a 92 by the end of the year. Weighted is around a 95. I'm an IB diploma candidate. It's called International Baccalaureate. It's comparable to AP, for those of you who are unfamiliar with it.</p>
<p>I haven't taken the actual SAT, but I've taken many practices on my own and through Kaplan, which I'm taking review classes at. Right now I'm floating around a 1900. I'm striving for a 2000. </p>
