Comments/Suggestions/Evaluation/Chances

<p>Hey. I'm a junior and am just starting the whole college process. I'd love some feedback.</p>

<p>PSAT (junior year): 213 (CR: 67, M: 80, WS: 66)
PSAT (soph year): 203
SAT: I'm taking it this Saturday, but on my two practice tests I got 2190 and 2210.</p>

<p>School: Highly selective (one of the top in the nation) private school in S. California
Unweighted GPA: 3.5/4 Overall, 3.8/4 Junior Year <--- My grades have improved A LOT.
Rank: I don't know, but probably around 30/100 (but my school is very difficult)</p>

<p>Coursework:
This year (with grades, as of this semester): US History AP (A), Math 4 (A-), English-my school doesn't offer an English AP-(A-), Ceramics (A), Latin (B+), Physics (A)
Next year (projected): English, Art History AP, Physics AP, Studio Art AP, Calc AB AP, Stat AP</p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars (projected for senior year):
Field Hockey (9-JV, 10-JV Captain, 11-V, 12-V)
Lacrosse (9-V, 10-V, 11-V, 12-V)
Community Service Club (9, 10, 11, 12)
Sculpture (9, 10, 11, 12)
School Paper (10)</p>

<p>Work Experience:
Community Service - Tutoring, Peer Advising, Volunteering at the Legal Aid Society, Running Toy Drives (about 10hrs/week)
Babysitting - A lot
Youth Soccer Referee</p>

<p>Summer - I've taken a lot of summer programs, mainly in Law. This summer, I'm interning in Washington DC.</p>

<p>Schools I'm looking at (My school's college counselor broke them down into Likely, Reasonable and Difficult, so I've included that here):
Barnard - D
Georgetown - D
Haverford - D
Vassar - D
Wesleyan - D
Amherst - D
Wellesley - R (I have legacy)
Johns Hopkins - R
George Washington - R/L
Smith - L
Mt. Holyoke - L
Bryn Mawr - L
Connecticut College - L</p>

<p>I'm looking at a good number of "Difficult" schools because my college counselor says they could be more reasonable if I keep up my good grades.</p>

<p>Any comments/suggestions/evaluation would be really helpful. I'm trying to narrow down where I should look.</p>

<p>Sorry this is so long!</p>

<p>It looks like you've gotten good feedback from your counselor, if you want to narrow down you ought to start visiting rather than listen to people on CC.</p>

<p>are you gonna play a sport in college? looks like you could be recruitable</p>
