<p>I'm a high school junior and this is what I have so far:</p>
<p>Reach:
University of Virginia (Early Decision)
Franklin & Marshall College
Hobart & William Smith College
Marist College
Pennsylvania State University park
Skidmore College
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Geneseo
University of Richmond</p>
<p>Match:

Drexel University
High Point University
SUNY Buffalo
University of Georgia
University of Vermont
University of Massachusetts Amherst
Virginia Tech</p>
<p>Safety:
Alfred University
SUNY Purchase</p>
<p>I'm in an IB school. Almost finished with Junior year, and by the end of it I will have a total of 12 IB credits (equivalent to AP). At the end of the first semester it will be 18. In my school, we don't really calculate GPA or class rank. My average is around a A- since freshman year.</p>
<p>I took the SAT once, and got a 1930.
CR- 560
Math- 700
Wr- 670</p>
<p>On my practice tests, my grades are usually higher, and I'm expecting all of those sections to raise.</p>
<p>I have some pretty good ECs too.</p>
<p>I need some help narrowing/changing up my prospective college list.
Any questions/comments/suggestions would be highly appreciated</p>
<p>I guess the most important question is how much your parents can afford to pay. You really need to settle that before you can put together a realistic list. What state do you live in? In addition, any idea what your intended major or academic interests? The answers to these questions will help narrow your list.</p>
<p>I live in NY, but my father lives in Virginia so i have state tuition there too. And intended majors could be around computer engineering or sports medicine. But those aren’t dealbreakers, because I wouldn’t mind going in to a liberal arts or figure out what I would like to do while I’m in college</p>
<p>UVA is a great option, especially if it is instate tuition, but you may need to work on your SAT score, particularly Critical Reading. Take the SAT again and also take the ACT. Some people do better on one test over the other so might as well take them both.</p>
<p>SUNY Geneseo is a great option within New York and has more of a liberal arts feel than the other SUNY’s. If you are interested in computer engineering or sports medicine, you may need a larger school like Penn State, Virginia Tech or Clemson. I would highly recommend you visit a few larger colleges as well as some of the smaller LAC’s on your list to see what type of environment you feel suits you best, small, mid or large size college. They all have their own unique set of strengths and weaknesses, depending upon the individual. Good luck</p>
<p>I’d definitely recommend Clemson! Let me know if you have any questions about it since I’m a student there.</p>
<p>The one school I would definitely cut is High Point. The school is really nice (it’s like living in a hotel) but the academics are something to be desired and everyone I know that has gone there has ended up transferring.</p>
