<p>So I'm a junior in high school, and right now according to my school I have about a 3.3ish gpa. However, if you use A-4, B-3...it goes up a little(I'm not sure which one colleges use more often). Also, I did attend a Military Academy, and as soon as I went there my gpa shot up to a 3.7, and now its at roughly a 3.5-3.6ish I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet, but on my PLAN I got a 28, and the company said that I could be expected to get roughly a 32-34 on my ACT. I did take it in 7th grade for the Duke TIP program and got a 24 which I was happy about. I know of some schools in Missouri such as Mizzou, and Missouri State have automatic admission based on ACT scores. And I feel confident that I can get a 24 to get admitted into Missouri State and a 29 to get into Missouri's J-School. However, those are my safeties. I have no idea what my class rank is due to my old school not releasing it because of the high percentage of students getting 4.0's. I have taken challenging classes. As a sophomore, I took precalc with some calc at the end, I'm in AP stats as a Junior as well. So, what colleges would I be looking at for automatic admission, and what colleges could I apply to and have a good chance at getting accepted? I'm mostly looking at state schools, but I would like to have a few smaller private schools in the mix as well.</p>
<p>Many public colleges and universities post this kind of information right on their websites. Often automatic admission is only guaranteed for instate candidates. You should pick some institutions that look good to you, and then check their websites.</p>
<p>Colleges and universities change their policies about this kind of thing all the time. Any list we would give you could be out-of-date by the time you read it. You might start with the threads on guaranteed merit-based scholarships in the Financial Aid Forum for ideas of place to begin your search.</p>

<p>Presumably, if you get an automatic scholarship, they will admit you.</p>
<p>Use a good college search engine to find schools where you are likely to get in. There is one here on CC (be sure to expand the number of results beyond the default 20). College Navigator is also good [College</a> Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics](<a href=“http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/]College”>College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics)</p>
