<p>I intend on narrowing this.</p>
<p>How realistic are these evaluations? Any other places I ought to look?</p>
<p>Are you in the U.S. or an international? I am confused by your reference to “American football.” Maybe you’re in Maryland, based on your list. In any case, I think your list looks pretty good. Your GPA is a little dicey, but your list has safety, match and reach schools.</p>
<p>lol. No, I’m not an international. I just always list it as ‘American football’ because I’m weird that way. Just want to make sure everyone knows that I play the better football.</p>
<p>St. Mary’s is very generous with IB credits. Students earn 4 credits for each higher level exam with a score of 5, 6, and 7 plus students earn 4 credits for taking TOK.</p>
<p>I would say that your “most interested” ones are also your “most likely”. That being said, make sure you do well SAT wise. The era of the football player who doesn’t work hard academically is turning; you can’t get in on that alone. But you seems to be a very solid candidate.</p>
<p>I would say if you keep up your record, you are a solid candidate. Add something with a little bit of “spice”, shall I say, and you’ll be even more of a stand-out. Unless you are hiding something, you aren’t going to have too much trouble. I would say you’ll get these results:
