<p>Hello to everyone! I'm new to this website - hence I don't know how to navigate the site too well. I really need to know if I'm searching for schools that are just to far in reach for me, or in the right range. I just want to give a run-through of my resume. Okay so I go to a renowned private, all boys, Catholic high school on Long Island. I haven't received my 3 year average (because it can change dramatically because our final exams are 1/2 total average) but I have between 97.5-98.0 average on a 100 scale. I ran cross country and track for many season, unfortunately I was out because of injuries, and decided to stop this past season. I have played tennis for about 8 years, up until I was 15 - I did tournaments, travel team etc. I didn't make my tennis team (very competitive haha)*I do not plan to play sports in college. I've played piano for 5 years, done recitals, state competitions etc. I play in a handbell choir at my church. I write for the school paper, in spanish club, Sacristans (a volunteer group), math club. I have a special skill in art, supposedly I'm supposed to make a portfolio. I haven't taken SATs yet, but i think the range would be high 600s-mid 700s for both. I plan to take an ACT this fall, not sure how I'll do, maybe 30, plus or minus. I've taken one AP (European History- 3)-not too fun. But I know I should be taking sat subject tests (does anyone recommend any?)
ANYWAYS! With what I listed above, is there any chance of top tier schools I could be accepted to, if so please list them. ---as well as any other schools. I'm interested in pre-law/business/possibly pre-med. Also, I would definitely need financial aid. I really appreciate any suggestions, thanks for your time! (the ivy leagues I'm considering Columbia, Upenn for my reach schools and Cornell, Villanova, Colgate for my in range schools. Any advice would be great!</p>
<p>this isnt the message i wanted to post lol, its a bit further up on the forum. THANKS!</p>
