<p>I'm a white male from Pennsylvania. I go to one of the best high schools in the state, it's the only blue ribbon high school in PA and has earned many other distinctions. I'm currently a junior. After slacking early, I've become far more mature and I've been trying to get my GPA back up.</p>

<p>I have a 2.6 GPA right now. I got a 1640 on the SAT my first attempt and am taking them again. I'm also planning on taking the ACT and hoping for a 29 or better. I plan on writing an essay for each college I apply to as I've always been a great writer and feel I can better my chances by doing so.</p>

<p>I plan on applying to:</p>

<p>Indiana University Bloomington
University of Missouri
Michigan State
Syracuse
UMass - Amherst</p>

<p>Which are realistic? Which are reaches? What are some recommendations?
BRUTAL HONESTY PLEASE.</p>

<p>Thank you guys.</p>
