<p>Hey everyone, Im a junior who is starting to get serious about forming a college list, and I wanted to get some help and advice. Im an average/slightly below average student. As, Bs, and Cs. I have had 2 Ds which I'm really worried are going to set me back. I will run through my stats and than put my current list.</p>
<p>Note: My school is on a 7 Point grade scale with weighting as follows. Honors is + 1, AP is +2</p>
<p>Freshman Year
Gym- A
Honors Geometry- C
Honors Bio- B
Spanish 1- B
Honors English 10- C

Honors Civics and Econ- A
Honors Chem- D
AP Psych- A

<p>(Current Weighted GPA at this point is a 3.00)</p>

<p>I just took the SAT and should get my scores on the 28th, but this is what I'm expecting. I took a class and have had private tutoring

Reading 600-630
Writing: 600-650</p>
<p>As for ECs-
Counselor at Summer Camp- 3 Years
Lifeguard- 3 Years
Social Media Internship for University of North Carolina- 2 Years
Intern on NC Senate Campaign- 1 Year
Special Olympics- 2 Years</p>
<p>My recs should be pretty good, I have a great relationship with a lot of my teachers.</p>
<p>For financial aid, I know I wont likely qualify for much merit, and probably not much need based. My family makes about $100k a year. I will apply for it through, but it is not a deciding factor as my family has a decent amount saved for college.</p>
<p>Now as for colleges I am thinking about, please feel free to make recommendations, as I am open to other ideas. I would like to try to stay in the southeast, or around the DC area. Also, I would rather not attend a community college and transfer.</p>
<p>University of Mississippi (Safety? Low Match?)
University of Alabama (Match?, High Match?)
Elon University (Early Action, maybe Early Decision) (Reach?)
University of North Carolina- Wilmington (High Match?)
East Carolina University (Safety? Low Match?)
Virginia Tech (High Match? Reach?)</p>
<p>My top choice so far is probably Ole Miss. I toured and loved it.</p>
<p>Sorry for the length of this post and any feed back is greatly appreciated.</p>
