<p>I think Hopkins and Northwestern might be a reach for you, but the other schools seem pretty good. I would recommend that you get yourself a higher SAT score (AT least 2k+), but overall looks pretty decent. Please chance me back:</p>

<p>You definitely need to raise your SAT. Like the person above me said, at least 2000, preferably 2200 would be great. Everything else looks good</p>

<p>Might look at Tufts and Holy Cross(don’t have to be religious) both Boston area schools-very good in the science majors.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>

<p>I’d look into more colleges like Tufts and Holy Cross, but the workload I have kind of limits the number of colleges I can apply to. :/</p>

<p>Nice EC’s but your GPA isn’t very good. My unweighted GPA in freshman year was almost as high as your Weighted GPA. (lol) My weighted was galaxies bigger but, let’s not get into that.</p>

<p>John Hopkins is an incredibly hig reach for you but, you have a chance at all the UC’s.</p>

<p>How did your school weight your GPA and don’t try to overload with AP’s. Some idiots take AP’s just so when they apply, they can say they took however many AP’s they took in their application. </p>

<p>(And they usually end u doing bad in said AP’s)</p>

<p>Trust me i’ve seen this happen to many idiots during freshman year.</p>

<p>ONLY take them if you are interested in the topic or you want to strip yourself of any time for social events.</p>
