<p>Stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.43 cumulative</p>

<p>SATs:
M: 650
CR: 690
W: 620, E: 8
This was my first time taking them. I plan to retake them in October and my goal is 2250+ and I am very confident that I can reach it. Also taking SAT Subject Tests (Math 2 and Bio) and I'm sure I can score a 750+ on them. </p>

<p>ACTs
M: 27
R: 32
E: 35
S: 24
Composite: 30
First time taking them, retaking in September, goal is 33+, I'm positive I can get it.</p>

<p>I think my class rank is top 37% out of roughly 480 students.
Notable classes include:
Honors bio (freshman)
Honors english (freshman)
AP Environmental Science
Physics (regular college prep physics, but i'm mentioning it because its optional and you only need 3 science courses to graduate and my school, and i plan on taking 2 other science courses next year, so I'll have 6)
AP Macroeconomics</p>

<p>My only elective worth mentioning is ENACT - Environmental Action. It involves me and 2 friends taking out the recycling bins in the entire school by ourselves once a week, and I love it.
I live in pennsylvania.</p>

<p>I want to major in environmental science</p>

<p>Is this a good list? Do I have enough (any???) safeties?</p>

<p>University of Rochester
University of Maryland - Baltimore County
Juniata
SUNY-ESF
Virginia Tech
Florida Tech
University of Delaware
RIT
Ithaca</p>

<p>Any other places you can recommend?
Thanks</p>

<p>[Environmental</a> Science Program at SUNY Plattsburgh](<a href=“http://www.plattsburgh.edu/academics/envsci/]Environmental”>http://www.plattsburgh.edu/academics/envsci/)</p>

<p>Check out SUNY-Plattsburgh. They have a well established Environmental Science program.
It would be a solid safety.</p>
