<p>bump :) :) :)</p>

<p>great. APply early. Not to be offensive but I would re-take the SAT. It seems with a higher score around 1250 you would be money. The thing is next year they will count the SAT writing so it seems a 1720 might not be a garantee for Out of state(i am sorry i couldn't see the state in your post; are you from Penn??). Moreso, with the ECs and GPA it seems with a 1250, 1950 test score you could get into some really nice schools. Good luck</p>

<p>texax..btw</p>

6

<p>Your thinking of UT right?? I would go to UT austin if I were you. You have that top 10% rule.</p>

7

<p>I know...that is one of my saftey school..I want to go to schools with a good real estate development program.</p>

8

<p>well then, Try UW-madison and UIUC</p>

9

<p>is UW prestigious?</p>

10

<p>I would put it a notch above both texas and Penn State
US news overall rankings (peer rankings in parenthesis)</p>

<p>UW Madison- 34(4.2)
UIUC- 42(4.0)
Penn State- 48(3.8)
Texas- 52(4.0)</p>

11

<p>I believe that it always matters where you plan on living after college as which state school would be better</p>

<p>Why did you take 4 HL's for IB? I take IB and only did 3 HL 3SL..... and isnt math methods SL (Math Studies) ? It is at my school. Just wondering! I got into Penn State being an IB Dip...you should too I think!</p>
