<p>The schools I plan on applying to are (in no order):</p>

<p>RIT
University of Rochester *
Penn State
Juniata College *
SUNY-ESF *
UMBC *
Drexel
SUNY Oswego
U of Delaware</p>

<p>Ones with a * are the ones I've visited.</p>

<p>I'm from Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.4 weighted. I've taken 2 AP classes and I'm taking another one next year.
My SAT scores are: 690 CR, 650 M, 620 W, 8 E, total 1960. I plan on retaking them in the fall and improving to 2200+. I'm also taking the SAT Subject Tests in Bio and Math 2 and am aiming for a 750+ on both.
My ACT scores are: 35 E, 24 S, 32 R, 27 M, composite 30. I plan on retaking them in teh fall and improving to 33+.</p>

<p>I have only one extracurricular worth mentioning - the Environmental Action club. I've only been in it for one year but I like it. At the school's I've interviewed for I've explained why I like it and why I was only in it for one year.</p>

<p>I am very worried that I won't get into any of these colleges. Could somebody please chance me, assuming that I achieve my goals on the standardized tests? Thanks.</p>

<p>You will get into at least one, I can assure you of that. I don’t know much about those schools, but I know that they aren’t highly ranked for the most part. Your ACT score is high; I suggest just focusing on that and not retaking the SAT I. And join more clubs/sports before you apply. Any community service or awards?</p>

<p>Chance back if you have the chance:

<p>Thanks, anyone else?
Also I think I’m going to retake the SATs no matter what cause I went into it cold without even knowing the essay was first, so I’m sure I can do better.</p>

4

<p>bump, anyone else?</p>

5

<p>Dont worry, you’ll definetely get into ESF, and oswego, they arent too tough to get into</p>

6

<p>What about the other schools?</p>

<p>Scoring a 1960 your first time and expecting to assume you’ll get over 2200 the next is slightly obsurd. That’s going to take a significant amount of dedication and time… saying you “plan” on getting them to a certain level is not as easy as it seems. In any case good luck, I think you’ll do fine regardless.</p>

<p>If you’re from Pennsylvania it’s pretty easy to get into Penn State… especially with a 30 ACT.</p>
