<p>Hey everybody,</p>

<p>Taking SAT II's next month: Math II, US History,Chem</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.9
W GPA: 4.11</p>

<p>Possible Hooks: First person in my family going to college, will not need FinAid</p>

<p>Should get good recs, will have solid essays</p>

<p>Any suggestions as to other schools I should consider, maybe so EC's i should pick up?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>EDIT: I'll probably be in the top 10% of my class, only 96 kids</p>

<p>You’re gonna need a big jump in your SAT scores to get into most of those schools. The mid-to-low tier UCs shouldn’t be a problem, but for place like UCLA, UCB, UMich, NYU, and USC, you’ll need at least something in the 2050 range. Good luck this weekend!</p>

<p>thanks… anybody else? Also, what should i be shooting for on the ACT?</p>

<p>Also, check into Syracuse, GWU, American and BU.</p>

<p>i agree with capobach, get your SATs up! UC Berkeley, USC, Michigan, NYU, UCI, UCLA, etc…all the schools that you listed are going to be high reaches if you cant crack 2000. your ECs are pretty good, tho they aren’t outstanding, so i think the toughest reach for you is probably gonna be UC Berkeley, so have some other schools as safeties…
Also you should aim for at least a 30 - 32 on your ACT, imo, if you want a good shot at the schools you listed. good luck!</p>
