College Chances! - average junior girl who does NOT aspire for an Ivy League! (:

<p>Hi. (: I'd just like to hear some peoples' opinions on my chances at these schools. I know that I'm not nearly as impressive as some of the people on this site. I don't want to go to Harvard or MIT. I'm really content with myself, but I want to know if I SHOULD be doing more. </p>

<p>My biggest concern is my SAT score. I really wanted +2000. I studied ... somewhat regularly, but to be honest I think I've hit my potential. I'm waffling. I'm in range for some, at the bottom of the range for a few, and aaaaalmost there for others. </p>

<p>Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Year: Junior<br>
GPA: 3.8 (UC)
SAT: 1950 (630 -- Math, 650 -- Reading, 670 -- Writing).
SAT II: U.S. History (750). (I'm taking three more this year, World, French, and English Language, hopefully!)
APs: U.S. History (5), World (??), English Language (??) -- I suspect a 5 on World (oh, look at me, being all pretentious. :P) and a ... 4 on English?
Extracurriculars: Drama Club (possible chair next year), Varsity Swimming, Peer Leader (next year), Youth Ministry, and Girl Scouts (Silver Award w/ active community service).
Work: Lifeguard (2 years), camp counselor/art coordinator (3 years).</p>

<p>My high school is ... somewhat prestigious. It's not a private school, but it's in the top 10 public schools for my state, and it's very challenging. I hope I don't sound annoying; I humble myself to all of youl! (:</p>

<p>Do these seem obtainable?
Should I retake my SAT?</p>

<p>I looked them up, and I SEEM to be in the range, but I want an actual opinion from a human -- hopefully with experience? -- not a machine. (:
*These are definite reaches, right?</p>

<p>I appreciate any insight I get -- thank-you so much everyone!</p>

<p>I don’t know whole lot about admissions, but why did you put an asterisk next to TCNJ? That sounds more like a safety for you.</p>

<p>I couldn’t be sure – everything seems like a reach school lately, to be honest. (:</p>
