<p>I'm a rising senior at an above-average high school in the Chicago suburbs in Illinois (obviously) and I am flip-flopping between my future schools and am not very confident in my selections. I would appreciate it if you guys could recommend me schools based on my stats as well as chance me at the few schools that I do list. Take it easy on me, I'm a CC posting virgin :).</p>
