Reach School Suggestions? Good ACT Low GPA

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I have been shopping around for colleges as we all have and was wondering what some good reach schools are that I should put on my list. My credentials are listed below, and obviously my gpa freshman and sophomore year is more suspect. I am more interested in small liberal arts schools or schools with less than 10,000 students. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>Hispanic and Mexican, Caucasian Male, attending top ranked public school, senior year 6 AP's</p>

<p>GPA: 3.0 UW/ 3.6 W
ACT: 33 Composite w/ 10 Writing
School Doesn't Rank
Year Progression: Freshman (3.4 W), Sophomore (3.32 W), Junior (4.2 W/ 3.8 UW)
Obviously, I had a ridiculous turnaround from mostly Bs and C's to almost straight A's in all honors.
All honors and AP classes since Freshman Year.
Hockey For 4 Years, Varsity for 2
Numerous Community Service w/ Food Drives
Part time work all summer
A handful of scholastic awards from national language exams, hockey leagues</p>

<p>Probably missing some things, but that's the general idea. Let me know please!</p>

<p>Well I’m in Illinois. No, I will be loaning, using FAFSA, and maybe Army ROTC. I would like feedback as if money was no object, nor is location.</p>

<p>Colby college, Wheaton, Williams, babson, Pepperdine, bowdoin, Merrimack, union, along these lines would be solid reaches. Bowdoin is close to impossible with these scores but might as well try.</p>
