<p>I think you need to provide better information if you want feedback.</p>

<p>Are you applying as an international? Will you need financial aid?</p>

<p>Are you currently a rising high school senior?</p>

<p>What is your UNWEIGHTED GPA? it cannot be 4.44 on a 4.0 scale -- on the 4.0 scale, the highest unweighted GPA you can possibly have is a 4.0</p>

<p>What is your ACT or SAT test scores? Any AP or SAT II tests?</p>

<p>What is you class rank?</p>

<p>That information will give us a picture of you academically. If you want ideas for schools -- what are you looking for? do you have any colleges in mind? </p>

<p>What are you interested in studying? What size school? LAC or university?</p>

<p>No.. I'm not an international student, i am ranked to 2% of class, and my GPA as of right now is 4.0+ (A+) and recommend any mid-Atlantic region colleges/uni's.. No AP classes and sat's & acts (wow.. don't even bother..)</p>

<p>That detail does help -- have you just not taken the SAT or ACT or have you decided that you don't want to?</p>

<p>If you prefer to avoid taking the SAT and ACT, you will have to limit your college applications to schools that don't require any standardized tests in order to apply. </p>

<p>Check out this list: <a href="http://www.fairtest.org/optinit.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.fairtest.org/optinit.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Make sure you check out the details any school you are interested in -- some still require the tests but don't use the results for admissions purposes (I don't quite understand the point, but oh well) and some require SAT II or AP tests even if they don't require the SAT or ACT</p>

<p>Your ECs look good and with your class rank and GPA you should be competitive at most schools. </p>

<p>Without knowing more about you and what you are looking for, it is hard to recommend schools. </p>

<p>If you need financial aid, look for schools that meet 100% of demonstrated need and don't have too many loans in their FA package. (if you subscribe to the premium edition of US News and World Report's college survey, they have that info).</p>

<p>Otherwise, try googling to see what are the top schools for the areas you want to study and start with those. Then check out the fair test list to see if any are on there (if you aren't going to take the tests) and then check out their financial aid -- that way you can start your own list.</p>
