<p>Hello! I made a list of colleges I plan to apply to, but now I'm worried I don't have enough matches/safety schools. Can you look at my list and stats and help me pick one or two more matches? Thanks so much in advance!</p>

<p>My stats:
White Female
4.0 UW GPA
4/600 Rank
35 ACT
Planned major: Biochemistry/Pre-Med</p>

<p>Some of my ECs:
Volunteering in at this day care since 6th grade (2 hours every week)
Part time job at a children's place
Academic Decathlon- 11th and 12th, Leadership position 12th
Colorguard- 9th-11th (quitting for various reasons), weapon line 10th & 11th
Volunteering at a place for helping abusive families- 11th and 12th
Chemistry Club- 11th (hopefully 12th if we can get enough people)
VP of NHS- 12th
And a couple of other things probably.. I can't remember right now xD</p>

<p>My list of colleges: Trinity U, Rhodes, Rice, Baylor, Yale, Princeton, WUSTL, maybe Whitman</p>

<p>Yale and Princeton are my two super high reaches for fun hahaha :D</p>

<p>bummpppp! ;D</p>

<p>I’m assuming you live in Texas</p>

<p>You will get auto admittance to UT and A&M so they should be safeties for you unless you don’t like them</p>

<p>OH yeah! I never put my classes from high school, if that changes anything xD. I’ll just do junior and senior year core classes</p>

<p>Junior:
AP English Lang
AP Chem
APUSH
Honors Pre-Cal
Honors Physics</p>

<p>Senior:
AP Calc BC
AP Euro
AP Gov
AP English Lit
AP Bio
Econ at a college</p>

<p>I’m a rising senior :)</p>

<p>Are you National Merit? You could add some schools with guaranteed scholarships for scores/National Merit as safeties, as safeties need to be guaranteed for admission and finances.</p>

<p>@barrk123: Yes, I live in Texas :). Yeah, you’re right, UT and A&M sound like easy safeties! They are a little big for my taste, but at least I know I’ll have two colleges automatically.</p>

<p>Thanks for replying!</p>

<p>@missmbv: No, I didn’t do well enough on the PSAT (211) to be National Merit :l.</p>

<p>bump bump! ;D</p>

<p>Maybe another Texas public, like Texas State, UNT, or one of the UT branches. They each have a different size and culture so they’re worth consideration. But I think Baylor is a solid match as well.</p>
