<p>So, I'm planning to apply to a few different schools, (all vary on selectivity) and I just wanted to know which ones I should consider like reaches, targets, etc.
These are the schools:
Marist (possible first choice)
Elon
Wake Forest
High Point
Stonehill
Syracuse
I'm applying to UMASS Amherst as a sort of safety and UMASS Lowell as a definite safety</p>
<p>Definitely going to be a communications major, probably more specifically public relations
Gender: F
State: Massachusetts
*I go to a public high school where the leveling is different, there's college prep (lowest), accelerated (medium), and honors (highest), my school is apparently "high leveled" so i don't know if that makes a difference or not
Unweighted GPA: not totally sure but i think 3.7
Weighted GPA: 4.1
AP Classes: European History, English IV, Psychology, US History/Gov't II
Junior Year Honors Classes: English III, US History II, Italian II
Senior Year Honors Classes: English IV, Euro, Psych, Italian III
(Freshman year was pretty bad grade-wise, sophomore year was a lot better but no honors classes)
SATs: Reading- 720, Writing- 700, Math- 680
English Lit SAT IIs: 750
US History SAT IIs: 690

-School Newspaper, Entertainment Section Editor senior year

<p>Recommendations: one of the few came from my italian teacher whose known me since sophomore year, another from junior year english teacher who knows me well from lit mag. rest are probably pretty good</p>
<p>Essay: Put my heart and soul into this, i've been told its good</p>
