-Go to the best (or one of the best) public schools in Pennsylvania
-3.8 Unweighted GPA
-4.2 WGPA (pretty tough schedule, 4 APs senior year, 1 Honors and the rest are regular only because they apply to my major and aren't offered as honors)
-30 on ACTs (plan on improving to a 31-MAYBE 32 if i get lucky)

-I currently tutor at the junior high school level in my school district. (50 hrs)Some other volunteering and resume filler BS...
-I would have good-very good interviews and good essays</p>

<p>Right now my list goes something like this:
1. UVa (have legacy so I'm considered as in-state-and yes I am completely sure of this)
2. Georgetown
3. U Mich
4. Wake Forest
5. UNC
6. U of Maryland
7. U of Florida
8. Cornell</p>

2

<p>That's quite a list of ECs, but I dont think you should include summer programs that you were invited to but did not attend.</p>

<p>UVa - Match
Georgetown - Low Reach
Mich - High Match
Wake Forest - Match
UNC - Low Match
U Maryland - Not sure
U Florida - Match
Cornell - Reach</p>

3

<p>No Penn State Schreyer's Honors? You'd probably get quite the aid. Why bother with UMaryland with PSU 3 hours away.</p>

4

<p>UVa - Match
Georgetown - Low Reach
Mich - Match
Wake Forest - Match
UNC - Low Match
U Maryland - Match
U Florida - Match
Cornell - Reach</p>

<p>thanks for the advice, PSU doesn't have my major (intl. business) on main... and I'm not sure if I have the SATs for schreyers anyway, plus U Maryland has a great location and similar price (PSU is still crazy in-state)</p>

6

<p>I think Georgetown's a match; you have a shot at Cornell. The rest are matches - safe matches.</p>

7

<p>UVa - Slight Reach since you're out of state?
Georgetown - Slight Reach
U Mich - Slight Reach
Wake Forest - Match
UNC - Match
U Maryland - Match (I know people with same stats from NJ who got in.)
U Florida - Match
Cornell - Reach</p>

<p>Too many ECs. Pick a few to put down. Thanks chance me back.</p>

8

<p>wow you guys are being really nice today... you don't think i'm weak in any area?</p>

9

<p>The ECs are a bit overwhelming but you have plenty of strengths there to focus on. If you bring up the ACT to 32 or 33 you have a good shot at all of those schools.</p>

10

<p>well my number 1 is UVa so I'd be very happy with that, the others are just for fun, Cornell b/c i wanted an Ivy, U Mich b/c it is good business and similar school.... Gtown becuase i liked the campus..... haha are all the ECs a bad thing? i do commit a decent amount of time to most of those so I don't feel like they are just fillers, i only have 2-3 completely stupid things on there</p>
