Help?

<p>I'm a junior in HS right now in the IB program, Diploma candidate for 2009.</p>

<p>Here are my stats/classes/etc.</p>

<p>IB Scores: probably 28+ overall, probably will get the diploma. (I guess this only matters for actual college credits)</p>

<p>SAT, planning on taking it in a few weeks but got a 204 on the PSAT and on some practice tests I've gotten in between the 2000-2150 range. Aiming towards that sort of range. </p>

<p>Should I take the ACT as well? </p>

<p>Activities: </p>

<p>-Yearbook (10,11,12), photographer 1st two years, photo editor senior year
-Newspaper (12) Writer
-National Honor Society Member (11, 12)
-Planning to found Environmental Awareness Club in January
-Member of the Salvation for a Nation (Darfur Awareness) Club (11, 12)
I plan to run for an officer's position next year.
-Capitalist Club Member (Economics Club) (11)
-Young Democrats Member (11, 12)
-Hospital Volunteer (Over 100 Hours so far, at least 100 more before senior year starts)
-Will be interning at UCF Global Perspectives Office in Sem. 2 of Junior Year
-Plan on taking classes at Duke relating mostly to economics/business or going on the DUKE TIP trip to China which focuses on chinas political/economic development. </p>

<p>I'd really love to do like Sports Management/Business
But I'm equally interested in going into Business, Finance, or Economics.
Law is certainly a possibility as well.</p>

<p>I'm kinda lost at the moment as to which colleges I have a chance of getting into.</p>

<p>I'm open to pretty much any region, perferrably near big city (100k +) </p>

<p>Dad went to George Washington University.
I have 3 cousins at Harvard (dunno if that helps w/ family connections or anything) </p>

<p>I'd really appreciate some advice.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>There are SO many colleges that can fit your description. You'd have a great shot at schools like NYU, BC, BU, UMiami (since you said big cities). Your grades and probable SAT scores seem to be on par with what those types of schools expect. Check out big city schools like those or UCLA, UChicago (reach-y).</p>

<p>Is it possible for me to get into UCLA as an out-of-stater though?</p>

<p>^^It's possible but don't count on it. But there are LOTS of great colleges for you to choose from!</p>
