<p>Guaranteed safety: UT (McCombs) (valedictorian gets a full ride to any dept.)</p>

<p>you would have a great chance at any of these. However, I doubt that taking weightlifting senior year is particularly appealing to colleges. But academically, you have a very good chance. Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but you should be good at all of those places</p>

<p>well at our school, we are required to take an athletic credit. I tried not to take the credit until senior year, so it would not dmg. my gpa, as a regular class would hurt my mostly honors GPA. Furthermore, if i did not take tech apps, or debate and took honors classes instead, my GPA would be much higher. I should have taken tech apps over the summer D:<</p>

<p>what do you guys think about MIT Princeton and Wharton those are my top choices, but if i go to UT i would have a full ride</p>

<p>bump comme on guys :D</p>

<p>anyone at all</p>

<p>I can chance you back.</p>
