<p>So I'm going into senior year and thinking of which colleges I should apply to, and my chances for them.
-weighted GPA: 3.993, unweighted is about a 3.9 I think (our school only weighs a few classes junior and senior year)
-all honors classes with the exception of chemistry due to a scheduling conflict with spanish 5. also, our school has no APs, so I shouldn't have that held against me. And I've gotten all A's or A-'s with the exception of an Intro to Russian seminar...
-rank: 7th out of 216, thrown off by the lack of weighted grades. I hate our school.
-ACT: 30 comp; 36 reading, 33 english, 26 science, 25 math.
-EC's: sorry, there's a lot...

<p>-schools I'm thinking about now
safties: marietta, ashland
matches im hoping, but probably reaches: oberlin, kenyon, denison</p>
<p>please tell me what you think about these choices, and if i have them in the right catagories.
and if you have any advice about which ECs are the most appealing/impressive to colleges, please let me know bc I'm trying to narrow down that list...
