<p>Okay so I'm a sophomore but whatever...
My stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8(with frosh) 4.0(without frosh) <-- For Princeton
ACT: aiming for a 34+
Ecs: Youth Group
Model UN next semester
Volunteering at hospital in the summer
Might create a Physician club at my school
School type: Supposely competitive, 2000+ kids
Class rank: top 5%
Race: Black</p>
<p>Asumming I can a 4.0 Junior year and score a 34 on the ACT, what is a good list of colleges?
I already have Vanderbilt, Duke, and Princeto</p>
<p>It’s not too late to correct your heading…hit edit…go advanced…fix.</p>
<p>What are you looking for in a college and what can you afford Mr. Sophomore?</p>
<p>I can afford alot of financial aid xD And im just looking for a fun place in the top 20</p>
<p>it’s hard to say without knowing more about you…
what are you thinking of going into?
do you know what size school you want, or what location?
what kind of personality are you looking for?</p>
<p>I want a degree in History, But doing Pre-med
Any location outside of Alabama is cool with me xD
And a work hard play hard school</p>
<p>and nothing over like 20,000</p>
<p>Hey, don’t diss Alabama! It’s a great place to go to school. :)</p>
<p>Well, until you have any scores, it’s hard to know where you will be able afford to go to college since you need a lot of aid.</p>
<p>Try your best next year on the PSAT (make sure you take it). Doing well only that can provide you with some full-ride safeties. Then tackle the SAT and the ACT…take both!!!</p>
<p>Hahah im not dissing the school, I live in Alabama, I just want to go to a new state, what’s a good prep book for the SAT or ACT?</p>
<p>Use the Collegeboard prep book for the SAT and for the ACT, use The Real ACT Prep Guide.</p>
<p>for SAT prep, i’m very loyal to Princeton Review; i’ve used it exclusively and it’s gotten me great scores, though i’m sure you can’t go wrong with collegeboard. a lot of them are good, it just depends what you want, though i’ve heard barron’s is easier than the actual test…</p>
<p>for schools, you might want to look into northwestern…just going off history and under 20,000 doesn’t narrow it down much, though that’s probably because you’re a sophomore and maybe don’t know exactly what you’re looking for? if you’re interested in history and politics, you may want to consider going to school in DC; georgetown is really good but super catholic (i don’t know if that’s good or bad for you; i’m agnostic so it turned me off the school, personally), george washington is slightly less selective and a lot bigger, and american is less selective than GW and smaller, so it depends what you’re looking for…</p>
<p>LOL…Georgetown is not “super Catholic”. NonCatholics are fine there.</p>
<p>^oh, is it really fine? the description i read was calling it “a mix of academics and faith” which made it seem like religion is a big deal there…is the actual campus more lax than some reviews make it seem?</p>
<p>also, scales1994, you might want to consider howard, a historically black college in DC if you’re interested in that; my dad went there for grad school and liked it, though it’s kind of in a bad neighborhood and back then you basically couldn’t leave campus (i’m not sure how it is now though, so it’s definitely worth a look)</p>
