<p>Notes: Not sure what I'm planning on majoring in. Some of my majors will depend on what school I get into, so if it's possible to take into account the competitiveness of the department of studies in each college that'd be great! Also, my AP Calculus BC class is the class that's holding me down this year with constant B's. I was in Calculus AB in the beginning of the year but my teacher recommended I move up to BC, so I did. I haven't been able to adapt to the teaching style of my BC teacher and thought I would be able to adapt but I haven't realized that I would need outside help until it was too late and now it's the fourth quarter, would this be something I would be able to explain in 'additional information' on the common app? Other than that, my grades for this year have been generally A's. I'm also planning on taking the SAT for a third time and taking the ACT senior year.</p>
<p>Schools I'm looking at</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins
Carnegie Mellon University
University of Virginia (College of Arts and Sciences)
Northwestern (Journalism)
William and Mary
Rochester Institute of Technology
UC Berkeley (Computer Science)
University of Maryland (Journalism, maybe)
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign (Computer Science, my first cousin went there for undergrad and became a multimillionaire alum if that would somehow help in admissions)
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
Virginia Tech
Penn State
Syracuse</p>
<p>I'd be really happy to hear feedback on if any of those colleges are out of reach or what some things I should improve on are.</p>
