<p>heyyyo so i have a 2130 on my sats with incredibly skewed scores (800 reading, 760 writing, 570 math), i go to the second best public high school in california, i have a 3.6 unweighted average,really skewed again ( 3.5 frosh, 3.2 soph, 3.8 junior) for my high school years but my school is seriously crazy, really demanding, etc. i've taken a demanding course load in high school, etc etc etc i get good grades etc etc 5 on euro, no other aps back, im just curious what schools i should be aiming for, im incredibly liberal, i make a huge impression on teachers, im really 'out there' or whatever, i have very little volunteer work or extracurricular but i am an interesting person , im very artistic, take alot of art classes, i go to alot of concerts, i read a crazy amount, im really loud and annoying, i dress strangely, im a psycho feminist. so im curious about stats and where i should be aiming when applying to colleges. in california, im right at that point where i would probably be bored out of my mind at uc santa cruz or uc davis, but im pretty certain i would not get into uc berkeley or ucla. ive had some huge life changes in the past year ( my dad came out of the closet and really messed my life up, we're estranged, he's a psycho pervert, whatever, but im also incredibly close with alot of gay people and as unhomophobic as you can get) if stuff like that matters. but really im just wondering what my chances are at certain schools, because im not really certain where i should be aiming for and what i can do to make sure i am happy where ever i end up. colleges im currently looking at are reed college (completely and totally enamored), bryn mawr college, bard college, oberlin college, kenyon college, barnard, NYU, and a number of others. is this way out of my league? does it matter that i go to an incredibly demanding and well respected high school?
thank you so much please be brutal etc etc etc</p>
<p>Please include more actual information then I can chance you.</p>
<p>First of all, consider spacing that appropriately and putting some more relevant information. Put out a nice list of ECs, academics, test scores, etc. Reading a long post like that is difficult as it is. Like Dareyne said, we need much more actual information. All you gave us was your SAT score and GPA and that you got a 5 on AP Euro. For a decent chance you need to put more, like SAT IIs, Rank, ECs, Awards, Hooks, etc.</p>
<p>Finally, up until about the “psycho feminist” bit you used one period. This is rather a pet peeve. Your grammar, or lack thereof, makes reading this post difficult. </p>
<p>All the above was just advice, take it or leave it.</p>
<p>Try to get the math score up a little bit, at least to a 650-ish. Then, you should be all set at the NY LACs, as those are the only onces I have any real experience with. Considering how liberal you claim to be, I’d suggest Vassar. Super liberal, hipster, and feminist if you live in Strong (all girls dorm). Probably the most liberal place I’ve ever been. I decided to go to Hamilton over it because I felt it was almost too liberal among other things (Its the type of place where the newspaper would claim that the school store is feminist because it only sells pink female razors…true story), but it was a close call. My scores were similar to yours, though I was fairly balanced along the 710 line, and I got in with no real leadership or stunning ECs, literally no volunteer work, and a goofy essay about fruitcake.</p>
