<p>i am currently a senior, i was feeling somewhat confidant in the schools i applied to but the other day my counsler commented that because of my gpa i might want to apply to a safety school. my safety was going to be depaul but i dont think i wanna go there. i have been looking at syracuse, because judging by my scores and their standards i should get in.</p>
<p>sat scores: reading-660, math-650, writing-580, composite-1890.
act scores: writing-28, reading-32, science-30, math-28, composite-30.
gpa: i havent taken any ap or honours courses because my school doesnt offer them because they say all of our classes are intended to be as challenging, which has hurt my gpa. my gpa is a 3.0, and although they arent weighted if it was it would be about a 3.6-3.7.
extracurricular:
-4 years of doing 3 sports year round. was JV captain in one and will be varsity captain for two this year.
-also competive water skiing in the summer, state champ one year and placed other years
-1 year of student gov't
-NJHS freshmen year
-4 years of drama</p>
<p>these are my colleges i have applied to:
-Fordham- really like what i have read, think i can get in
-Loyola Chicago- this is a target school, would love to go here
-University of Michigan (in-state) -a top choice, think i have a decent chance
-Marquette University-not a top choice but wouldnt mind going
-Boston College- this is a big reach but figured why not
-DePauw University
-Hillsdale College (is kinda a fallback right now but dont want to go really)
-College of the Holy Cross - another reach </p>
<p>i am looking for schools with a well rounded program, i will probably major in bio or chem for pre-med maybe, or political science</p>
