<p>As the title mentioned, I'm about to be a senior and I've been using this summer to really crack down on the colleges that I want to attend. This choice will be the most important up until this point in my life. I just want to know from an unbiased 3rd party what my chances at these schools would be. I know what my reach schools are already but if you could help show me which schools are a match and which are a safety because I want to make sure I have enough safeties on the list. Also any other schools that you think would be a good match would be a great help. I want to major in political science as I'm very interested in politics and government. </p>

<p>Right now I believe I have 3.5 unweighted GPA and am #10 in my class. It's not the best but I am going to work really hard and hopefully raise that during my senior year. My combined SAT score was an 1810 and that too is not the best but I plan on retaking it in October and will hopefully be able to raise it. </p>
<p>Any advice you would be able to give will be much appreciated. I want to try and cut down this list since 13 schools is financially a lot to apply to. Thank you for your help!</p>
