<p>SCHOOLS I HAVE CONSIDERED BEFORE/MAY CONSIDER (most reaches):
Alabama- Already admitted
Maryland (mother went there),
Pitt,
USC,
Towson,
Northeastern,
Wisconsin,
Michigan,
GA Tech,
Florida State,
Minnesota,
Colorado-Boulder,
Penn State,
Tennessee (Aunts-3 went there),
Syracuse,
Bucknell,
Oklahoma- Already admitted
Amandarin is online now </p>

<p>Anywhere i should take into consideration and no i wont be applying to all of tehse ^^^</p>

<p>Don’t apply to Tennessee. You can do so much better.</p>

<p>Really? I don’t think im gonna get in many places honestly, Is tenn not good? Where do you think i would get in, Strive?</p>

<p>GA tech is a reach</p>

<p>You seem to be worried for no reason. Your extracurriculars are better than your test scores, so you might want to look at smaller colleges with holistic admissions practices. I would recommend Goucher (which is in your home state, as a matter of fact) for foreign relations–they have a study abroad REQUIREMENT. </p>

<p>I live in Knoxville, Tennessee, so I have tons of contact with UT hopefuls, students, and alums. My findings have been nothing but disturbing: few people can graduate from UT because it is so overcrowded that no one can attend the classes that they need. Intelligent, capable people cannot get a diploma after SIX YEARS. As of 2009, UT is a scam. Don’t apply and don’t attend.</p>

<p>Blooeyes1023: Yeahh, I know, It’s a reach, but I cant get over how i like it</p>

<p>Misspicwickian: I’m getting out of maryland, and im not a fan of goucher, i want a school with at least 10,000 people. and a football team.</p>
