Which schools?

3

@Gumbymom UGA, Georgia Tech, Emory University, Wake Forest University, and Duke University.

4

Anyone?

5

UGA you have a pretty good chance of getting in. Emory, Duke, and Georgia Tech is iffy because of your ACT score but your extra curriculars/awards/GPA could trump that.

6

You have a good chance at all of them! Chance me back?

Did you apply to UGA Honors by the priority deadline?
If so, you have a good shot at Honors - apply anyway but do so quickly.
GTech: you’re definitely competitive but it’s one of these “reach for everyone” schools. Same thing for Emory and Duke.
You need more matches and of course 2 safeties that you like and an afford.

Considering your stats, you should apply to UAlabama Honors.
Depending on your parents’ budget, VTech may be of interest.

Note:because you have Math, English Lit and Physics for HL, studying AP Phys C, Calc BC, and AP English Lit is pointless and redundent (unless you think you’ll get a 4?)
APES and AP Psych don’t really add curriculum rigor but if you like the subjects it’s fine and you’ll likely get a credit for APES (whereas you wouldn’t for SL).
