<p>Hi, I am going to be a high school senior next year and I am considering the following schools: UIUC(reach?), UW-Madison(reach?), Purdue(?), UMR(safety), NCSU(?), and SLU(?).</p>
<p>-I am an average student with a low GPA (3.5) but I take mostly all AP's and Honors.</p>
<p>-The classes that I have previously are:</p>
<p>Honors Chem I, II, III; honors Physics I; Honors Bio I, II, III;All History honors , math honors and English honors.</p>
<p>Junior I took 3 AP's
AP Chem - 4
AP Gov - 4
AP Comp. Pol. - 4</p>
<p>Senior Year:
AP Calc
AP Bio
AP US History
AP English lit
AP Stat
Honors French V
Honors Physics II and III</p>
<p>-I have a 30 on the ACT(M-32, E-28, R-29, S-30) and a 1980 on the SAT(V-620, M-700, W-660)
12's on both writing</p>
<p>-I have few EC's: Volunteering (100+ hrs), Chess Club 3+ years, Project Help (2+ yrs), Internship at UMSL. I am for some reason in the National Society of High School scholars if that matters.</p>
<p>-I am pretty good with essays and I am sure i will get good recommendations.</p>
<p>-I live in St. Louis, MO if it matters.</p>
<p>-I am planning to study chemical engineering (I know, a little premature). If anyone has any more recommendations I will be happy to hear them. Also is it wiser to do undergrad in state and them go somewhere good for grad school?</p>
<p>Thanks
(sorry for the large post)</p>
