Guru Will Chance You for Top Tier Schools

<p>In the fall, I’m going to be a junior. Over the summer, our college counselor has given us the “homework” of finding 20 schools we might be interested in and try to categorize them as either Reach, Match or Safety. I’ve started my list, but could use some help and advice.</p>

<p>A little about me:
White female from California
Projected ACT score: 32-35 (that’s what I’ve been scoring in diagnostics and practice exams)
SAT II: Spanish - 750, Math II - 700 (retaking in the fall), projecting 780+ in French, will also take Chem but no projection yet
APs: Spanish - 5, next year I’m taking Calc AB, Chem and World, and then [projection] Calc BC, Physics C, English Lang senior year
GPA: 4.43 weighted
Good ECs</p>

<p>My list so far:
Georgetown
GWU
American
Carleton
Vassar
Macalester
JHU
Claremont McKenna
Princeton
Yale
Tufts</p>

<p>This is not a list of schools I’m for sure applying to, only a preliminary list of colleges I think I might like. I am aware that the safety/match/reach ratio will be quite off.</p>
