<p>I am a Rising Senior living in Georgia and I am an African-American female.
I would like to go to a school ranked from the top 12 to 78 from U.S. News Rankings of National Colleges.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, i need a full academic scholarship to go out of state and I am not of "financial need"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Here are my stats:</p>
<p>4.0 GPA
Have taken 3 APs (U.S.-4 ,BIO-waiting, Government-waiting)
Enrolled in 2-3 APs next year, I've taken advanced and honor classes
PSAT
CR- 650
M- 590
W-600
90% rank for national merit....hoping to get national acheivement
SAT
CR- 580
M-610
W- 650 ESSAY- 8 so W went down to 630</p>
<p>3 years varsity sports
lots of extracurricular clubs, tutoring, church volunteer, dance
paid summer internship every year in Science
Leadership- Local leadership teen group, V.P. and President positions in 3 clubs, also other offices</p>
<p>Just took June SAT, did some practice and hoping for a 2100- 700s in all 3 sections</p>
<p>You've got a fantastic GPA, and some great extracurriculars, but your SATs aren't great. Even if you can get each section above 700, however, keep in mind that it's very difficult to get a full scholarship out of state. You'll have a better chance at scholarships in Georgia, but try for the University of Maryland's Banneker/Key scholarship.</p>
<p>Also, your PSAT score probably won't qualify you for National Merit. I don't know about National Achievement, but even if you do qualify, most universities won't give you a full scholarship based on it.</p>
<p>it'll probably be hard to bring up the SAT sections to all 700s
shoot for like 2 high 600s and maybe a 700 in CR (but it is the hardest section to bring up)
yeah the SAT scores are a little low for top 12 but im sure you could get into some good schools like NYU, Tulane, Penn State.</p>
<p>You can get into some good schools, but your URM status isn't going to get you a full ride.</p>
<p>Full ride is pretty unlikely even at #81, NC State, I know the competition is INSANE for full rides.</p>
<p>academic full rides are a joke they are too hard and rare to get.
athletics is where its at... legit..... plus you get free food and board</p>
