<p>Hello, I am a rising senior with only a very slight idea of where to go for college.</p>
<p>I am intending on majoring in math and my math SAT II level II was 800, PSAT math was 800, and SAT math was 800.
However, I cannot say I do so well in math class at school.
Also, although I go to a fairly selective private school, my GPA is not exceptional. I have a 3.78ish GPA. I'm not sure if its weighted or unweighted.</p>
<p>I did pretty poorly on all the other subject tests but I intend on retaking them. (poorly being low 700s or 690.)</p>
<p>As far as extracurriculars go, I'm fairly serious at violin, play the cello and piano, row on varsity crew for both spring and fall seasons, went to stanford math camp which to my understanding is pretty selective, and play chess a lot although I dont play for a team. I also do a lot of math competitions although I'm not registered so my scores don't count.
Actually, I look pretty bad on paper...</p>
<p>Hmm, I'm also doing an internship in a hospital research lab and my pseudo project is on the role of ... wait, its confidential.</p>
<p>But, all in all, I'd like to be in a somewhat challenging school with liberal students...</p>
<p>Can someone give me some suggestions for well fit schools and maybe a few reaches?</p>
<p>One up on that one. I'm sort of in the same boat, only more. I'm sorry I can't help you out a ton, but let me encourage you to apply to all of the schools you mentioned (unless the application fee is a huge deal). I feel sort of the same way, but if you don't try then you'll never know. Let me ask you though -- do you have reasonable safeties and matches? If you do, shoot the moon on the schools you mentioned, provided you really like them. Definitely never sell yourself short, either -- many people didn't get into places like that because they just didn't apply, thinking they weren't 'good enough'. Especially since you're considering physics/math, which I'm pretty sure a lot of people wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, if you mark that on your application, you might stand an even better chance.</p>
