How does this list look?

College Search & Selection

<p>Sorry, I know this is kind of cliche...</p>

<p>Some info about me:
white male from PA
currently a junior
I haven't taken the SAT's for real yet, but it looks like I'll have around 2000
Class rank is in the top 5%
GPA: 4.5 weighted, 3.9-4.0ish UW
I take all honors classes, and by the time I graduate I'll have taken AP english 11 and 12, AP history, AP gov, AP Physics, AP Calc
EC's
Drum Major of a world class band (no exaggeration. we have a really unique theme and have done some special things)
This year I'm head sports editor for the paper and I have a good shot at being editor in chief or managing editor next year
Class officer 9-10 grades
key club
NHS
I'm probably going to start an Interact club too
JV hockey 9-10, varsity 11-12</p>

<p>Sorry I don't have a whole lot of info academically, but I either don't have it or it's subject to change by next year.</p>

<p>I'd like be be a history or philosophy (or both) major and I intend on going to law school, but I know that could change.</p>

<p>My list:
Colgate University (they're probably my top choice)
University of Richmond
University of Virginia
Davidson College
Trinity College (CT)
Middlebury College
Washington & Lee University
Cornell University
Dartmouth College
Wesleyan University
Penn State (It's in state)
Furman University</p>

<p>Do you guys think these schools are about the level I should be looking? Any suggestions?</p>

2

<p>Take a look at Denison.</p>

3

<p>I’d suggest University of Pittsburgh, not only because it’s my own school :D, but because they have one of the best philosophy departments in the nation, have a school of law guarantee program, and you’re in-state. If you beef that SAT up to 2200+ you could be looking at a full-tuition scholarship.</p>

4

<p>I guess I should give a more defined question…are these schools realistic for me with my stats?</p>

5

<p>Aim for an SAT of at least 2100 and you should be good for Colgate, your top choice, as well as most of the other schools on your list.</p>

6

<p>I agree^ You probably need at least a 2100 to have a good shot at Colgate. Dartmouth and Cornell will be reaches, for anyone, so the higher the SAT’s the better. What about SAT IIs?</p>
