<p>Hi all,
I was curious about my chances of getting into a few colleges/universities I have listed below. I just finished Junior year of high school, and will graduate as a 2015 senior. I'm a white Christian Catholic male, with a current ACT of a 28. My ACT writing is a 10. My GPA on a 4.0 scale is 3.140 unweighted, and 3.279 weighted. The GPA is what has me worried about getting accepted to some of the schools below. I've taken three AP classes so far in high school, them being AP World (I got a 3), AP Bio (the scores are not out yet), and AP Lit (the scores are not out yet). For my senior year, I will be taking 3 AP classes: AP Lang, AP Econ, and AP Environmental. Over three years of school and after I finish next year in May, I will have completed four years of Math (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Stats/Finite), four years of Language Arts (9 Honors LA, 10 Honors LA, AP Lit, AP Lang), four years of Science (Honors Bio, Honors Chem, AP Bio, AP Environmental), 4 years of History (9 Honors US History, AP World, Gov/Law and Justice, AP Econ), and 2 years of Spanish (1 and 2). Spanish was a hard course for me, and the second semester of Spanish 2 I got a D+. I hope that won't effect my chances of getting into any schools too much! Aside from academics, I'm also very active in clubs and other outside activities that demonstrate leadership and service, including Boy Scouts (I am an Eagle Scout and in OA), AFJROTC (which I will have done for four years, and I am the Commander of the Unit for my senior year), AFJROTC Cyber Patriot Captain, Robotics Captain, Key Club member, selected and participated in Boys State (I was the General Counsel), active community volunteer, and I was on the Junior Student Advisory committee at my school. I work at my local YMCA as a Swim Instructor, Lifeguard, and Deck Supervisor, and I am the Director of Infant Water Development in the Aquatics Department as well. I will also have glowing recommendations from truly qualified teachers from my school. I am interested in Majoring in Economics, with a Minor in Computer Science, but I might change my Major. Additionally, I want to pursue Law down the road. </p>
<p>Below are a few colleges/universities I would like to know if I have a good to great chance of getting into. I have seen all of the charts, graphs, and statistics for each school and their acceptances, but I really do want to hear opinions from real people as well. The colleges/universities are:</p>
<p>University of California, Berkeley
Loyola University Chicago
Northwestern University
University of Missouri Mizzou
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
University of California, Los Angeles
DePaul University
Brigham Young University
Boston University </p>
<p>That's all the places I can think of right now, if I can think of any more I will add them. And if any of you could think of some universities that would be a good fit for me add them as well. So if you all could please tell me my chances of getting into any of these schools, it would be much appreciated, and also and what would I need to have a better chance to get in? Thanks everyone for looking!</p>
