<p>Thanks everyone who takes the time to do this... What I'm looking for is a general tier of colleges I should strive for with my information; rather than asking if I can get into Princeton, I'm asking what colleges I can get into. Since I haven't taken the SAT or SAT II's yet (I will take the SAT I as soon as possible, and immediately following that the SATIIs in math2, physics, and something else), you have little information to go by. But I want to see where I should be striving for, just to make sure I don't aim too high or low.</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.4 W
Class Rank: 2/600
ACT: 35, no writing, 34 E, 34 M, 36 R, 35 M.
AP Tests: Took USH, Calculus, and Physics.. expect 4 on USH, 5 on Calc, and 2 on physics (bad day.)
PSAT: 227, a lock for National Merit Finalist
ECs: 3 years of band, 2 years in a creative writing group (we write/produce/direct/act in our own comedy sketches, put out 3 original shows a year, most financially viable group at my school)
Job: For one year now, I've held a part-time job at a smoothie shop, working 10-15 hours a week on average.
Schedule Rigor: Excepting one class sophomore year, I've taken the most rigorous schedule so far. Next year, I'm taking a full set of classes (with exception of one period which has to be cut to make room for Calculus 2 at a community college)
Volunteering: Worked about 50/60 hrs at a camp for disadvantaged kids, probably 25 hrs watching children at my church.</p>
<p>That's.. about it. I'm a white male from a high income family, so no URM status here.</p>
<p>Thanks again to everyone to offers suggestions, I know your time is important.</p>
