<p>I'm going into my senior year of high school and want to narrow my list of school down. I'll give you a little run-down of myself:
-Go to the best public school in Pennsylvania
-3.8 Unweighted GPA
-Should be slightly over 4.0 WGPA (pretty tough schedule, 3-4 APs senior year)
-30 on ACTs
-2000 on SATs
-Class Vice President
-Got into PA Governor's School for Global Entrepreneurship (Highly selective state-sponsored college program at Lehigh)
-Track and Field (along with random other semi-involved sports)
-NHS (of course) Possibly with an officer position
-President of CISV Pittsburgh (International Cultural Understanding Organization)
-Co-President of World Affairs Club
-Law, Spanish, LINK(helping special-ed kids) Clubs
-Extensive Travel to CISV camps (see above) since I was 11 (looks pretty sicko on resumes I think)
-Paul Harris Rotary Club Award
-Some other volunteering and resume filler BS...
Sorry about the list, I just want an good opinion... and I want to study International Business. My current list includes:</p>
<h1>1. U. Virginia (Dad/lots of Family Alumni so I've heard I'm considered in-state... true?)</h1>
<h1>2. Georgetown</h1>
<h1>3. Penn (Ridiculous Reach?)</h1>
<h1>4. Wake Forest</h1>
<h1>5. UNC (out of state though...)</h1>
<h1>6. U. Michigan</h1>
<h1>7. U. Maryland</h1>
<h1>8. U. Florida</h1>
<h1>9. Northwestern</h1>
<h1>10. U. Indiana</h1>
<p>I know I have a decently comprehensive list... any suggestions? Do you think these schools are attainable? I'm also looking for schools in the mid-range (like Wake) that seem to be on par-with my scores, but I think my extra-currics will pop me up some... I just don't know how much.... Thanks a lot! I'd be happy to give advice to anyone else if you need it.</p>
<p>CISV involves international travel and i'm white</p>
<p>penn is a reach-- but its not ridiculous-
unc id say is match-reach
b/c you had dad etc does not make you "in state"
Gtown- northwestern id say ur match-reach maybe more reachy
the rest id say your a match or safety for (MD, FLorida, and UI)</p>
<p>haha glad to see ur on this now cook, congrats again bro</p>
<p>ps. disregard that studco post i made, i was pi$$ed when i made that, but im good now haha</p>
<p>yeah i'm getting pumped for college.... feelin good, i liked how the next kid said "is this a joke?" to your post, i actually laughed... ok now on to topic... i believe i had heard the UVA DID consider legacy as in-state, can anyone confirm?</p>
<p>any other suggestions? i'm getting really concerned</p>
<p>i'm sorry but i'm very concerned, any help if possible? thanks a lot everyone your all very helpful!</p>
<p>UNC is very very hard to get into out of state since they take so many in state and so little out of state, so I definetly wouldn't say it's a match. Penn is a big reach since you don't seem to have anything that sticks out, but do you have any connections there? You should probably also apply to the highly selective college that your mom works at since I'm sure that would boost your application alot.</p>
<p>I don't know much about the state schools but I can say that Northwestern and Georgetown COULD be matches but they are very unpredictable. Everybody applying there is going to have the same statistics, you need something more.</p>
<h1>1. U. Virginia MATCH</h1>
<h1>2. Georgetown LOW REACH</h1>
<h1>3. Penn HIGH REACH</h1>
<h1>4. Wake Forest MATCH</h1>
<h1>5. UNC LOW REACH</h1>
<h1>6. U. Michigan MATCH</h1>
<h1>7. U. Maryland SAFETY</h1>
<h1>8. U. Florida SAFETY</h1>
<h1>9. Northwestern REACH</h1>
<h1>10. U. Indiana MATCH</h1>
<p>You need to bring up your test scores to not make some of these universities such reaches. Good luck!</p>
<p>Chance me? :)</p>
<p>whats chance me mean?</p>
<p>oh and now i'm secretary of National Honor Society... if that matters <em>cringes at the thought of colleges ignoring ECs</em></p>
<p>what up cook. your EC's are sickkkk. gpa is excellent. if u just raise your sat up some. i'd say you have a good chance with every school on ur list. I'm still amazed with ur EC's. they are redic. but i probably know less about college admissions than you.</p>
<p>Chance me = evaluate my chances on my thread. Hahaha.</p>
