<p>I know this section is geared more towards me listing a few colleges and you guys saying "reach" or ". However, I don't have any particular colleges in mind, I don't even know what type of colleges I can and can't get into (asides from the ivies). So would everyone please tell me what colleges I should look at?</p>
<p>I want to major in finance. Though at the present time it doesn't seem like a good field to get into, I'm certain that in 3-4 years around the time that I graduate a lot of big financial firms will be on the lookout again.</p>
<p>Here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.2 (unweighted) 3.8 (weighted, out of a 4.5 scale)
My freshmen year was quite bad, but in my sophomore and junior years I have had a consistent 3.667 (unweighted) GPA.</p>
<p>SAT/ACT: I am scheduled to take them soon. Perhaps I should post this again with them when I get the results? Lets say I get an 1800, lets go on that (for the SAT).</p>
<p>Classes: 7 AP's total.
Junior Year: US History, Lang/Comp, Biology.
Senior Year: Chemistry, Statistics, Lit/Comp, Government.</p>
<p>Rank: 25/395. I am in a low achievement "ghetto" school, so my amazing 3.2 GPA puts me in the top 10%.</p>
<p>"EC's"
- Tennis Team (2 years).
- Set up school's Varsity Quiz team this (senior) year.
- J.R.O.T.C. (4 years). Held several key leadership positions. Currently, I am the Finance Officer.
- Set up a tutoring program (with JROTC) for children in local elementary schools.
- I will get very good recommendations.
- Have a job at borders...I don't know what effect that would have on an application but after looking at a few threads here it gets mentioned.</p>
<p>Should I even apply to UC's?</p>
