<p>Hello, I am a rising junior at a great public high school in Portland, Oregon. I have a 3.54 UW GPA and a 3.96 W GPA. Have not yet taken the SAT or ACT but I am very confident that I will score highly. I have good ECs including baseball, journalism(editorial positions for the next two years), and some clubs. </p>
<p>My current list includes (in no order)</p>
<p>Duke
Georgetown
Rice
Stanford
UCB
UCLA
Michigan
UNC-Chapel Hill
UO
USC
UVA
UW
Vanderbilt
Wake Forest
Washington St</p>
<p>Right now I am happy with this list and I feel like I have a good mix of reaches, targets, and safeties but I would like some additional input.</p>
<p>School size doesn't really matter to me, but I would really like a school that has good athletic teams to support and good intramurals as I am an avid sports fan.</p>
<p>Any help with new schools, my current ones, or my chances would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>You really don’t know anything until you take the SAT or ACT, unless you are applying to test-optional schools (which are not on your list). Repost after you take the tests and include your scores, and we will be more able to help you.</p>
<p>agreed with levirm.
the only information you have provided us with is your GPA and a list of very very strong schools.
include extra currics and your sat/act when you do take it.
I recommend raising your GPA, 3.5 UW is low at those colleges.</p>
<p>Yea I figured that could be an issue. I could estimate my scores based on my friends who have taken it, if that would help. I had some outside issues that, affected my grades in the last couple of years that hurt my grades so my GPA should increase.</p>
<p>What can your family afford? Will you qualify for FA? Do you need it? Some of those schools (UMich, UCB, UCLA, maybe others) will cost $50K+ and won’t give FA beyond federal aid.</p>
