College Search & Selection

<p>Hello! I live in Washington and I'm going into my senior year after this summer. Currently I have a 3.5 GPA and I'm taking my SAT/ACT in the fall and aiming for an 1850 at least. I've taken 3 AP classes so far (3 more this upcoming year) and a handful of honors classes in my freshman and sophomore year.</p>

<p>In terms of extra curriculars, I'm in National Honors Society, Model UN, Key Club, and another feminist oriented club at my school. I won a presidential service award for my volunteering and I am a link leader/part of link crew. I work two jobs, which I've heard is worth mentioning on applications.</p>

<p>I realize it's a bit hard to figure things out without SAT scores but I just wanted a bit of an idea.</p>

<p>I'm aiming for:
University of Washington
UBC
BU
San Diego State</p>

<p>just as a starting point but other university suggestions are more than welcome. thank you!</p>

<p>also I forgot to mention, I did swim team for a year and two years of tennis.</p>

<p>What are you hoping to major in?
From your list, SDSU is the odd one out (OOS State school) - any specific reason you picked it?
BU is unlikely to be affordable.</p>

<p>How about Western Washington’s Honors Program, or Evergreen?</p>

<p>Then of course look into U Puget Sound, Walla-Walla, Whitman, Whitworth :)</p>

<p>If you were willing to relocate, you would probably increase your odds by picking a school outside your region, especially in the midwest and the South.</p>

<p>I think a hidden gem with a tight knit and great learning environment would be a great fit too…</p>

<p>look at hendrix college</p>

<p>Yeah, BU is fairly expensive but I have family that wants me to apply so it’s more of just an out there school, haha.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention SFSU along with SDSU and I’ve actually toured those and quite liked them so I was just trying to figure out if I’m in the right range. :)</p>

<p>I think I’ll apply to Western as well, yeah, thanks! I think my family is set on me going to UW however. So I guess my best options are California state schools and a couple around here. Thanks for the suggestions!</p>

<p>and in terms of majoring, I’d like to major in communications since that offers a number of fields and then I’ll probably match that to either some sort of media minor or maybe sociology.</p>

7

<p>You can probably get into SDSU and SFSU with that GPA and projected SAT. Are you looking for big city?</p>

8

<p>I’d prefer a larger city, yeah!</p>
