Does my List Fit My Grades?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I will start of by saying I am a sophmore, so not a lot of this is official and a lot can change.
My list i have started to develop is as follows(I'm trying to narrow it down by a few more schools):
Wake Forest
Princeton
Harvard
Duke
UNC
UVA
Towson
U of Richmond
Hampden Sydney
Washington and Lee
Cornell
Vanderbilt
Emory
Rice
My Plan Test(Pre-ACT) was a 29/32, the Plan projected ACT was 29-33. My school works on weird class scale of 2-4 instead of Normal(2) Honors(3) High-Honors(4). I take Mostly 4's and a couple 3's with mostly all A's. I'm sorry if this method of description was confusing, but I don't have time immediately to get my GPA.
For the non-grade related items I do several EC's such as Varsity shooting team and lacrosse, as well as play the trumpet. I don't do a large amount of service, just an average amount. I was part of the Duke TIP summer program and plan to be part of the Cornell summer college program. I'm white and am comfortable in interviews/interactions with adults/interviewers. Sorry for the Haphazard description, but if you could tell me such things as which schools fall under which category of, Reach Match and Safety I would appreciate it Greatly.</p>

<p>Other than Towson and Hampden Sydney, those schools are all among the 75 most selective in the country.

<p>An ACT score of 31 would be in the top 25th percentile for W&L.

<p>W&L is about in the middle of the top 75 most selective schools (#34). For now, you could consider W&L and the schools below that point on the list (#34-75) as potential “match” schools, the schools above that as reaches, and schools off the list as potential safeties. </p>

<p>Keep in mind that all 75 schools on the above list are very selective. Most students at most of these schools rank in the top 10% of their high school classes, have ACT scores of about 28 or above, and good ECs. It’s hard to predict where your target range is until you have real scores and a class rank.</p>
