High ACT/SAT - Low GPA - what school should I apply for?

<p>Not in need of financial aid so nearly any college tuition would be acceptable. I am fully committed into making a 3.5 or higher GPA for senior year as my new school counselor has said would be of extreme importance. </p>

<p>Any other schools other than “Michigan, NYU, Oxford College at Emory, Georgia Tech (higher acceptance rate), Rochester (low yield, possible ED). For matches – BU, Syracuse, Penn State, Purdue, Maryland, etc.” - I am already looking through these options. </p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the support you’ve given me thus far. :)</p>

<p>Would the SUNY schools be a stretch (given that I live in NY)?
Would the SUNY’s be a better option that say Maryland / Georgia Tech?</p>

<p>Also, my junior year grades only contain the first semester (average of B-/C+). The second semester is blank due to personal/family problems and transferring schools. I will have full credit by the end of senior year, though. In addition, I am taking 4 AP classes senior year to make up for some missed junior year work.</p>
