<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend colleges to go to (maybe big names, if applicable) or give me some feedback on what I can improve.</p>
<p>GPA: UW 3.55, W 3.61
SAT: 1560 (planning to retake)
class rank: 206/562
Hispanic</p>
<p>AP Classes taken (or will be taken)- European History (10), Psychology(11)</p>
<p>Senior year classes: Literature(12), Statistics (12), Honors and AP Spanish 4 (honors and ap are blocked), AP Government/Econ, Business Law, Teacher Intern for history class.</p>
<p>EC:
Link Crew (12) helps bridge freshman to high school
Soccer on Club team (11-12)
Soccer Referee (12)
Part-time employee at unemployment center (11-12)
Volunteer at program for underprivileged children. (12)</p>
<p>Chance me for:
Any university that may accept me (:</p>
<p>What is your home state? And what can your parents afford to pay?</p>
<p>I live in the Bay Area, Northern California.
& my parents can pay less than $30,000 a year, but I can possibly get local grants to help out.</p>
<p>If your parents can pay about $30k per year, then it’s doubtful that you’d qualify for any financial aid. </p>
<p>Your biggest problem is your SAT (I’m guessing that is out of 2400???). </p>
<p>Your class rank is also a problem.</p>
<p>At this point, there aren’t any “big names” that will likely accept you.</p>
<p>Once you get your scores up, and perhaps do better with your GPA (try to end this year as high as you can!!), then we can make better recommendations.</p>
<p>Right now…most UCs are out, the Cal Polys are out, some of the best Cal States might be out, and privates are probably unaffordable. </p>
<p>So, you’ve got some work to do. 
Good luck!</p>
<p>(Also, ask your parents how much they can contribute each year. If you’re guessing the $30k amount, they may have a different figure in mind.)</p>
<p>I’m looking to improve my SAT, and as you can tell, I’m VERY worried.
I have ePrep (the online sat prep) and I don’t think that it has helped me improve.
I’ve been trying to raise my grades; I’ve gone to 2 high schools so the move kind of shook me up a little bit school-wise (transferring credits)
Class rank: I know that this is a problem but maybe once I get my GPA up, I’ll move up a little bit on the class rank system.
Thanks for the feedback and advice.</p>
<p>Bump! Does anyone have anything to add? Do I need more extracurriculars?</p>
