<p>Im a junior, and I have, as of now, a 94.16 average, with 3 quarters of grades in this year and all of next year left to increase it. I got a 215 on the PSAT this year, so I am like right on the border of getting the Merit Scholarship, yet i wont know for a while... I took the ACT for the first time this year, and I got a 34, so Im not doing that anymore, and I took the SAT on the 23rd Jan, just in case, but Im not taking any more of them. SAT II's i have already taken bio and got a 710, and chem and got a 760... I will take all the math ones and stuff this year, because math is my strong suit (36 ACT math, 100 avg in math 2 years running..) Also, Im in AP english and physics b as of now, next year I expect to take AP physics c, the next AP eng, AP calc bc, AP stat, and maybe AP spanish... Im in a bunch of clubs and stuff, and have done math fair past 3 years...</p>
<p>This is just my background, briefly, now I am just looking for any type of advice on what kinds of schools I should be aiming for, as in like what my reach would be, my safe, all that jazz... Just any advice on anything would be appreciated, thanks.</p>

<p>2) How much can your parents afford to contriubute towards your education. If they haven’t told you, ask (don’t assume).

<p>Im kinda just wondering like based on stats alone what schools should I be looking at.

<p>but my mom is thikning like cornell early decision… and she loves binghampton bc of the whole money situation (you can kinda assume what I mean by that)…</p>
<p>but I just want to know what the best schools I could probabbly get in to.</p>

<p>Based on your scores alone, the list would be too big. The list would be all the top 50 ranked National schools, all the top LACs, etc. What good would it do you if we just listed 70 or so schools?</p>
<p>That’s why you should answer the questions that I posted. :)</p>
<p>And…</p>
<p>I should have also asked…</p>
<p>Warm climate schools</p>
<p>Cold/snowy climate schools.</p>
<p>well thats an issue because i really have no clue as of now, but im saying what would be my range… like highest schools i could get in to you think</p>
