Help me out!

<p>Yo, so i'm a junoir and I have a huge problem.
My dilemma: I have AMAZING extra curriculars and awards.
My course load is intense (Ive only taken the hardest classes i could).</p>

<p>However, my school is really hard (its nationally ranked, which i know people think is like that means nothing, but new students and teachers that have come to our school have said how intense it is and my counselors say that a low gpa here would be a high gpa in other places). And we also have some grade deflation a bit. Im also a triplet (all female) if that means anything</p>

<p>My gpa is a 3.55 uw and a 4.0 - 4.1 w (anticipating at the end of junoir year). Im doing a summer school class to bring it up, but regardless it won't even be a 3.6 uw. However, ive done only hard classes. Our school weights classes really weirdly (Honors: .5 APs: 1). Ive never gotten anything below a B in my life. Our school doesnt rank.</p>

<p>I think my SATS are going to be a 2100. Practice SATs are usually around that range, so im hoping. Ill say 1900-2000 to be safe.</p>

<p>***********<strong><em>I know it may not seem like it, but I truly have worked really, really hard. I want to go to a good school. Are there any schools that would appreciate my class rigor, extra curriculars, and awards and excuse my *</em></strong>ty GPA and average SAT scire. Im asian (indian) btws.***************</p>

<p>My extra curriculars:
I own a nonprofit pending approval. Its been in a couple of local newspapers, the largest children's literacy nonprofit (Reading is Fundamental) is blogging about us next month, we've already donated about 700 books from our book drives, have over 65 volunteers across the USA, have sent MP4s and tablets containing audio recordings that me and my other volunteers have done of public domain books as well as educational videos (they teach math and english) that I personally make and edit. We've partnered up with a few organizations (PVSA, homeless shelters, etc). We're hoping to be even bigger in the next couple of months. And People from big scholarship funds have started to contact me (Build a Bear Huggable Heroes Program) and congrtulated me about my nonprofit, what we've done, and that I should apply for thier schoalrship DD And since they used my nonprofis pending approvals website to contact me, I assume its not something they send to everyone</p>

<p>I have also had some notable (5, there will be more in the summer) internships at great institutions (Smithsonian, Mitt Romney campaign, National Building Museum, etc). And im really apart of my community (I work with mentally handicapped children, vice president on my teen council, serve on the youth advisory board for my county, mentorship program etc) ANd theres a load of other things ive done (clubs, honor socities). I have a club for my nonprofit in my school as well (Im the president).</p>

<p>Awards are mostly Service awards (County service awards, PVSA award, etc). Hoping to get a DoSomething grant and a few other grants later this summer.</p>

<p>But can anyone here tell me some schools that would be good for me. I absolutely love business, but I think being a dentist is more realistic and practical. So any good business schools or dentist schools? But also give me any good undergrad schools in general that would be good for me</p>

<p>Im sorry if I came across arrogant or cocky or naive. Im terribly sorry. Ill be the first to admit that I suck at life. But im really proud about my nonprofit. Ive put a lot of work into it. And I am really serious about the difficulty of my school. Its in one of the best districts in the nations (Northern Virginia). Sorry if this is really bad grammatically well. Im in a bit of a hurry.</p>

<p>First off, you do not “own” a non-profit. You manage it.</p>

<p>Secondly, your own GCs should be able to help you with your list.</p>

<p>Lastly, since you are so interested in non-profit work, take a look at the institutions that participate in the Bonner program.</p>

<p>Sorry, thanks for the clarification. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction for service scholarships for college. I appreciate it!</p>

<p>I have actually asked my GC this beforehand, and when she stated that the average gpa (for our school) for people who got admitted into Tufts University, was a 3.9 (weighted) I started to seriously doubt her and her advice. A 3.9 weighted (even for my school) seems way to low for Tufts University</p>

<p>thank you for your reply! I appreciate it!</p>

<p>Since you mention Tufts, I’m going to assume you want to go to a Uni with similar attributes (size, location, environment)</p>

<p>Matches: </p>

<p>Northeastern, George Washington, NYU, Boston College</p>

<p>Reaches:</p>

<p>UVa, Georgetown. Anything above is probably unrealistic.</p>

<p>Safeties:</p>

<p>UMass-Amherst, UMCP, Boston University, Penn State, SUNYs</p>

<p>Bless you. Thank you for answering my question. I truly appreciate it! I only pick Tufts, because i heard it was more holistic in its admission approach. To increase my chances of top schools, do I just need to work more on my GPA and SAT? Like, should i just do regular descision and make sure my senoir year grades are good so more GPA increases
And then retake the SAT so I can increase that?</p>

<p>How much of a reach is Georgetown? My dad went there, if that helps</p>

<p>Look up the Common Data Set for GTown, Section C, to find out.</p>
