<p>Hi, I'm a Junior in high school. I am not really sure what types of colleges I can get into... I have always wanted to go to a school like Notre Dame but I'm not sure if I can get in. Now I'm thinking maybe Marquette but I want to go to the best school I can get into. I have done 4-5 Honors/AP every year, I'm ranked 20 in a class of 600, I have a 29/30 on my ACT. I'm on tennis, scholastic bowl, investment club and I started and am captain of the schools debate team. I am in NHS and hope to be VP next year. I am active in my church and youth group, and serve as a Eucharist minister and Usher. Should have good recommendation letters and I'm a good writer/interviewer. I got a 5 on my AP World Exam. I did two years of advanced honors foreign language, finishing at honors Spanish three. I was VP of my freshman class and led a Kairos Retreat as well. What types of colleges do you feel I am safe to apply to, and which ones are reach schools? Thank you for your time! </p>
<p>Your ranking is terrific. The ACT is meh for Notre Dame. The ECs are good; continue to perform in leadership roles. But what is the GPA and is it weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>Sorry forgot to include, 4.3 Weighted GPA </p>
<p>Thanks for responding, it’s weighted, unweighted GPA is like a 3.6 or 3.7. Would you say marquette is a safe school and ND is a reach? My uncle went to ND and I had an extended relative who was a priest there a whole back </p>
<p>ND’s certainly a reach. Now if you were a priest, that might be a hook. 
</p>
<p>Lol not likely, thanks for responding though. Which schools would you say are safe schools? Marquette caliber sound safe? </p>
<p>Possibly, but try the SAT if your ACT is low.</p>
<p>check out Boston College, Villanova, UVA</p>
<p>Boston College actually is on my list! How much more/less selective is it than Notre Dame? </p>
<p>BC is less selective</p>
<p>Thanks for the input! </p>
