<p>Well, I'm a Rising Senior and I've been looking for colleges so I've been doing some online college searches (College Confidential (Super Match), College Board, Princeton Review) and I'm not sure which search engine would be most accurate. I've been using Princeton review since it gives me a list of Reaches, Good Matches, and Safties and it seems to be the most in-depth that I've seen, but I'm not sure if It's credible since my Reaches and Matches feel a little bit out of reach with my stats. I'm not embellishing any of my stats so I'm not sure what's up. Here are my stats as a reference to the colleges I was given.</p>
<p>Intended Major: Double Major in Law and Film Productions (Screenwriting/Directing)</p>
<p>GPA: 3.25-3.3 UW/4.2 W GPA by app time, but it's still subject to change.</p>
<p>SAT: Took in June. PSAT Score-189. Practice Tests Scores Ranges (2180-2290)--I'm confident in my June SAT results</p>

None at the moment, but I'm hoping to win some Creative Writing Awards/Scholarships this summer as well as compete in some competitions.</p>
