match/reach schools?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Im still in sophomore year, but as early as now i want to look at my options. i also know it's gonna be harder for me to get in colleges because i'm an international student. </p>

<p>here are my stats:
I'm Asian and i study at the best science high school in my country. However, i am not at the top of my batch. probably in the top 20% out of 240 but consistently in the honor roll. my grade now is roughly 1.5 (1 being the highest-5 the lowest). i don't know how you convert that to GPA. I have also been a class officer for the past two years. I'm in the varsity basketball team and the soccer club (there 's no varsity team for soccer). basically, im an above average student. i have two years of high school left which means i can still improve on my grades and EC's. </p>

<p>but as of now, what schools are a match/reach for me? any suggestions?</p>

<p>What do you want to study? Which field of science? Do you want a large university or smaller liberal arts college?</p>

<p>i'm thinking of engineering (nuclear, and aerospace, aeronautical and astronautical seems cool), applied mathematics, med (dreaming), and if all else fail, business with finance maybe. it really doesn't matter how big the school is.</p>

<p>umm i dont think you should post about matches and reaches if your not even in the app process</p>

<p>some good colleges for aerospace/aeronautical engineering:
MIT
Georgia Tech
U of Michigan Ann Arbor
Purdue U
California Institute of Technology</p>

<p>They might all be reaches. It depends on your record.</p>
