<p>Hi guys, first post here (been reading for a long time, though). </p>
<p>I'm trying to see if anyone has any feedback on whether my list of schools is good for my stats, and if people have any ideas for other schools in case I find that my list isn't right.</p>
<p>My list:
-UMD- College Park (safety both financially + academically, no one in my program hasn't gotten into UMD ever)
-UVA
-William & Mary
-Duke
-UNC- Chapel Hill
-Elon University
-Emory
-Tulane</p>
<p>I think it's a good list of safeties, matches and reaches but I'd like some feedback! I want a school south of MD and with a good history program. </p>
<p>I am a senior in Maryland (near DC). I'm in a very competitive and rigorous Communication Arts Program at my school, and am in the top 10% of my class of 670. My unweighted GPA is ~3.69 but my weighted is ~4.4, which makes me in the top 10%.
My SAT scores are:
Overall: 2020
W: 710
CR: 690
M: 620 (I suck at math and I'm sure that by looking at my transcript colleges will see that)
I'm going to re-take in October to get my math score up and probably going to take 2 subject tests (Lit and World History) in November. </p>
<p>School rigor:
-Many of my classes have been part of my program and aren't AP classes but since this program is nationally well-known a lot of schools know about it
-4 AP's taken, 2 more this year
-5's on Government, Psych and Lang, 4 on World
-Taking AP European History and AP Spanish this year (didn't want to overload myself this year, I am still taking honors classes and doing a lot of required classes I put off)</p>
<p>EC's:
-Girl Scouts since 4th grade, my Gold Award project is approved and I plan to complete it in December
-Entertainment editor (12th grade)/staff writer (11th grader) for my school's online newspaper which was a National Scholastic Press Association finalist for the year I was a staff writer
-National Honor Society (got accepted 11th but we basically do everything 12th grade)
-JV Softball 9th +10th
-Internship at Fonkoze USA summer 2010
-Fully ran and operated my pool's snack bar for 2 summers (includes buying stock and all labor)
-I am a frequent babysitter in a babysitting service that I was an interim CEO of for the summer of 2011
-Volunteer at SilverDocs, the AFI's international documentary film festival
-170+ Service hours</p>
<p>So yeah, let me know!</p>
