<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I'm currently in 11th grade and I'm looking to keep this short and sweet.</p>
<p>UW GPA (on 4.0): 3.48
W GPA: 3.94
SAT I (First Try): 1850
SAT II: Bio (690), Math1 (650)
Double Legacy at Penn State University Park</p>
<p>Majoring in Finance/Accounting</p>
<p>(will supply ECs if asked for)</p>
<p>Thank you so much in advance, it's just getting to that point where I am starting to get nervous about whether I'm doing enough or not!</p>
<p>Oh BTW my list so far:
-Notre Dame (Favorite Prospective Reach)
-Virginia
-University of Florida
-Penn State UP (Favorite Prospective Match)
-Indiana (Favorite Prospective Safety)
-University of Maryland</p>
<p>Looking to get my UW GPA over a 3.55 by the end of Junior year and my W GPA over a 4.0, as well as over a 1900 on the SAT I.
Please share anything I can do in this time to help improve my chances of getting into any of the schools listed above (ECs, Community Service, Online Classes, etc.).</p>
<p>Notre Dame - Reach
Virginia - Reach
University of Florida - Match
Penn State - Low Match
Indiana - Safety
University of Maryland - Match</p>
<p>If you want to have a good shot at schools like Virginia or Notre Dame you should aim to have your SAT in the 2100+ range. All the other schools on your list you have a good shot at if you keep your grades on track.</p>
<p>Notre Dame and UVa will both be high reaches, especially if you are OOS for UVa. Indiana should not be considered a safety unless you are in-state.</p>
<p>Have you run the net price calculators on these schools’ websites? Most schools on these lists are super expensive OOS. What can your parents pay? Have you talked with them with what they’re willing to fund on your behalf? (Be aware that many parents aren’t too enthusiastic about spending $45,000 on a B-C student).</p>
<p>ND and VA are both high reaches so try to find schools that are similar enough but where your odds of getting in are better.</p>
<p>Notre Dame is a high reach for you, because of your grades and scores. I’m not sure how exclusive Indiana is, but Penn State is definitely a match; legacy helps so much, plus you have the grades to back it up.</p>
<p>Penn State Smeal: Match
IUB: Safety (forget about Kelley direct admit)
Notre Dame: High reach
UVA: Reach
UF: Match/High match
UMD: Match</p>
<p>@Catria: What do you mean by forget about Kelley direct admit for IUB? </p>
<p>Also thanks to everyone else for your help!</p>
