<p>Hello there.
I am currently a first-semester senior at a small magnet school in the South. Perhaps someone could give me some insight as to how competitive I am regarding scholarship money within the TN State school system (i.e. UTK, MTSU, TTU, etc.), as well as competitiveness for other, more prestigious schools (such as Vanderbilt, Harvard, etc.) Here are a few 'stats:'</p>
<p>ACT (30) (29)
English (35) (35)
Math (25) (26)
Reading (32) (26)
Science (28) (30)</p>
<p>SAT (1980)
M (540)
V (690)
W (750)</p>
<p>I am, without a doubt, retaking both of these tests in the near future, in hopes that I will score better. </p>
<p>3.93 GPA (unweighted) with challenging courses in high school (e.g. Honors, 3 AP Courses)</p>

<p>Alright, then...</p>
<p>What do you think?
I am certainly extremely confused about college right now - it basically has taken up the entire capacity of my brain for the past few months, and it likely will do the same until May 1, when at last a decision is made. </p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!</p>
<p>Oh, and by the way, I am planning on majoring in English with two minors: 1. Secondary Education, 2. Spanish or Philosophy.</p>
