<p>I am a senior this year, and I would like some suggestions as to where I should apply...</p>

<p>My stats/EC's</p>

<p>GPA- 3.93 (we don't have weighted)
Rank- 1/9 </p>

<p>No AP's as our school is TINY</p>

<p>SAT</p>

<p>Math- 620
Verbal- 700
Writing- 720</p>

<p>I am going to take the SAT II's, not sure which ones though.</p>

<p>Nothing real notable as far as my credits except no Chemistry (not offered).</p>

<p>Classical violinist + Fiddler
Music school- Honors Chamber Group
2006 Washington State Fiddle Champ
Lots of awards for fiddling</p>

<p>Baseball- State "B"</p>

<p>Varsity starter since freshman year
All Opponent Honorable Mention</p>

<p>I would prefer to stay relatively close to home (I live in Spokane WA), but I am not opposed to maving away. I am applying to Gonzaga, but that seems a little bit to the safety side.</p>

<p>I am NOT a math/science type. I enjoy writing. I may want to do something in the lines of sportwriting/radio/journalism or get a business degree, but I am not set on any of that.</p>

<p>Not sure if I left anything out...</p>

<p>Any of your input would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>Ryan</p>

<p>Whitman and Lewis & Clark sounds like excellent matches. Evergreen State and UPS might be good safeties. Reed could also fit (match/slight reach). The Claremont colleges also might be worth looking into.</p>

3

<p>Ever look into California Schools?</p>

<p>Berkely? UCLA? USC?</p>

4

<p>Thanks for the suggestions guys... I will definitely look into LC.</p>

<p>I should mention that my preference is for ver conservative schools, so I would not be going to Reed...</p>

5

<p>Pepperdine may be worth considering.</p>

6

<p>Ryno:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach (out of state)</p>

7

<p>Take your SATs again. It can't hurt to do them another time and try to bring them up. </p>

<p>What about UW?</p>

8

<p>wow 9 kids in your class. whats your school like? heavy competition?</p>

<p>You may wish to consider Willamette University in Salem,Oregon as a match-Wonderful music program,as well as business/lit, bright students like yourself. Good merit scholarships. Relatively small-biggest class for me was Freshman biology-30 students. The professors really KNOW their students-I used to play tennis, and go jogging with my profs.</p>
