<p>As you can see by my user name, I'm an idealist. I'm applying to UW-Madison, Minnesota-Twin Cities (borderline safety), Dartmouth, Macalester, and NYU. I also got into Northland College as a super-safety. Does it even pay for me to try at Dartmouth/NYU? </p>

<p>Chance me:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.4 (25 out of 90), no weighted grades, super small school, but pretty competitive grade wise, my senior grades are very good though so far..</p>

<p>ACT: 31 (35 English, 31 Math, 32 Reading, 25 Science)</p>

<p>EC's: Senior Class President
Forensics (24/25, Silver State Medalist)
8 of 8 possible High School Theatre Productions
SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions)
Editor of School Newspaper
Varsity Cross Country Letter
Shift Manager/Crew Leader at Cold Stone Creamery</p>

<p>Awards and stuff: Honor Roll
High Honor Roll
Student of the Month
Faculty VIP
Who's Who Among American High School Students nominee</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>my opinion
NYU - match to high reach because the ACT seems good. You seem pretty good with EC's (kind of like more comition than a number). Your awards are pretty low but i dont know. Your GPA is the killer. You are in the top 30% which is going to hurt you very bad.. try your best if possible to raise it to at least a 3.6 (may be possible. Dont know). If you do then a match at nyu. i dont know what macalester is
darthmouth - reach.</p>

<p>Yeah, if I get a 3.8 and a 4.0 for this year, I can get it up to a 3.5, which will bump me up the class ranks significantly. Thanks for the help. x)</p>
