<p>First off I have to say... wow very cool site, I wish I would have known about it when I was a jr. in high school... but anyway...</p>

<p>So i'm a snr right now and i need feedback on the schools that I'm applying to... and I think I need an idea of more schools... because a few weeks ago I got my SAT scores back, and I went up 90 points (an 1150 to a 1240): So I think I may want to add more schools to my list I need your help to do so:
This is my situation now:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.3 (around 88)
SAT: 1st try: 1150 (560 v 590 m)
2nd (and final) try: 1240 (600 v 640 m)
ECs: Girl Scouts (13 years and Gold award recipient, that’s a national award due to my very large community service project.. over 75 hrs.. what a great essay that made!)
Intercultural club (since frosh year, VP jr. year Prez snr year)
Soccer 8 years... (not really that good though lol, but varsity snr year)
great letter of rec (the teacher loves me!) </p>

<p>Interests: I like the area of political science, although I'm still kinda not sure, but at the advice of others I'm still applying as a poly sci major. But I also have an interest in health and nutrition. I know that the best place for me w/ a poly sci major is GW, but there is still a lot of things i didn't like about the campus (for example there is no campus, so i didn't feel like there was a real community, and the fact that the caf that we saw was more like a food court and that didn't strike my fancy.)</p>

<p>The schools that I originally was applying to w/ 1150 SATs:
SUNY Binghamton (EA)
Ithaca college
Quinnipiac university
SUNY New Paltz
SUNY Albany
U of Del
American University
GW
Muhlenberg college</p>

<p>With a 1240 I'm thinking of dumping SUNY Albany, and in my mind i've dumped U del, Quinnipiac, and SUNY New Paltz. (meaning that I'm applying to these schools even though I don't really want to go there). But with an SAT score of a 1240, does anyone here have any ideas about schools that might be good to add? (I’m looking for some match/ reach schools) or do u think my list is okay as it is?</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch!</p>

<p>I personally think a 1240 is really good, and you should aim higher.
Georgetown should be your reach.
I would also recommend that you look into LAC, they usually are pretty politically active.
