<p>Hey guys, I'd like to know competitively where I stand in regard to colleges in general.</p>
<p>For my classes, in 11th grade I take 4 Higher Level IB classes (Chem, Phys, Math, Econ) and 2 SL (English Lit and Lang and French Ab initio). Last year there were no advanced classes, though the school's standard curriculum was generally seen as being equivalent to many Pre-AP classes in the US</p>
<p>This year I've gotten half of my grades 6 and half 7 (6 in our school is 90-95 and 7 is 96-100), and in 9th and 10th grade I got mostly 6s with a few 5s (9th grade PE average for the year was a 5, 10th grade English and French). The school doesn't do class rank but I am seen as the top student. Maybe some people have better grades in one or two subjects but overall, taking that I have harder classes, I'm seen as top.</p>
<p>I just took the SAT and got results back today, 2090 (760 Math, 640 Reading, and 690 Writing with 76 on MC and 6 on essay). Since this is my first time taking the SAT as a junior, I'm not too worried since I'll retake it in May and again in October. For the subject tests I want to take Math II, Chem, and Physics in June. </p>
<p>9th and 10th grade I didn't do too many activities (10th grade only P2P and in 9th grade I may not have done anything) but this year I'm coming strong. I'm in a service group called Amis Des Ecoles, one that helps schools in mountainous areas in Morocco, and I'm starting a debate, chess, and study club alongside some friends. I might do swimming this year. I don't play any instruments or anything though, and I'm not on the artistic side. </p>
<p>I am from America, born and raised, but for high school I went to an international american school in morocco. I don't know if its too relevant, but i guess i can claim an international experience or something?</p>
<p>I am going to apply to a range of colleges, some early action and the rest regular decision. Right now my prospective list is Stanford, MIT, RPI, UT Austin, SMU, Rice, Syracuse, SUNY Binghamton, and Northeastern so far. Don't know what I like exactly but I'm thinking business related or a stem thing. So far those are the ones I'm best at. My parents said decision making for colleges is completely in my hands. </p>
<p>Based on all the above info, how do you guys think I stand in regards to college? I understand that since I'm barely halfway through my junior year things stand to change, but so far am I in good shape?
Also, does anyone have any suggestions on other colleges? I'm sticking with the US, prefer something that has good programs in business and STEM (not necessarily a business major but if it integrates business and entrepreneurship into other programs well enough then that's good), and I'd like something with a friendly environment. Preferably urban or suburban within close range to an urban city. Class sizes should be on the smaller side, but I'm not going to be picky. I simply prefer not to have 600 students per class. Maybe up to 100 at the beginning for the core classes and then narrow down for majors, though having 20/class would be great. Not too concerned about sports, but it'd be nice to have some options.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance guys</p>
