Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I find it sort of hard to gauge where I am a fit for because of my unusual grade : test score ratio. Could anybody point me in the direction of some schools that would make sense? P.s. Not sure if I put this in the right thread category. </p>

<p>Male/Caucasian
Large Public (~515 students)
MA
Low income
Possible majors: Econ, Computer Science</p>

<p>3.2-3.3 unweighted (2.4 freshman, 3.0 sophomore, 3.7 junior, 4 (term 1) senior) Class rank: top 25% :/
3.8-3.9 weighted (.75 AP, .5 H, .25 regular)</p>

<p>SAT I: 2370 (800 Math, 800 CR, 770 Writing(11 Essay))
ACT: 36</p>

<p>SAT II: US Hist 2 & Physics & Math II (800 all)</p>

<p>AP Exams:</p>

<p>AP Lang (5)
AP US Hist (5)
AP Macroeconomics (5)
AP Microeconomics (5)
AP Comp Science A (5)
AP Psychology (5)
AP Calc AB (5)
AP Lit (5)
AP Government (5)</p>

<p>EC:</p>

<p>Cross Country Varsity (Junior & Senior)
Indoor Track Varsity (Junior & Senior)

Some volunteering hours (~ 50)</p>

<p>Assuming all Rec's are good.
Essays will be excellent.</p>

<p>Where should I set my eyes on? E.g. Cornell, Berkeley, BU, Case Western, Virginia Tech, U Oregon</p>

<p>im not sure if you are in a worse or better situation as me, but im sure we are in a similar situation. My SAT is 2300+ and GPA is 3.7 unweighted (it might go down a bit, which is NOT GOOD) and I dont know what to do. I need help from this post as well.</p>

<p>@kimdy0 haha sort of glad to see someone I can relate to. Although, sorry to hear about your troubles. A 3.7 is a world away from a 3.3 though, so purely based on SAT + GPA you are probably better off than I am. Not sure this helps you at all, but people have said I am a reasonable candidate for BU and U Michigan Ann Harbor, so if you were looking at those… </p>

<p>i actually was looking at UMich, so Im glad to hear that! I hope we both can end up somewhere. I mean you are great at test taking from what I see. Colleges might like that.</p>
