Right Track???

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Well I'm trying to come up with my final college list, and I have a few schools to which I am definitely applying. But I would just like to know if I am on the right track with my stats and the schools I'm picking.</p>

<p>SAT- 2240 (800M, 690CR, 750W)
ACT- 35
SAT II- going to take math 2 and bio in october
AP- stat(5), english lang(5), calc ab(5), taking calc bc, english lit, bio, and chem as a senior. All of my other classes are GT (highest possible) except for a couple honors
GPA- 4.0 uw, 5.3 w
Rank- 15 out of 345 (top 4%)</p>

<p>EC's:
Varsity Soccer- 4 years, captain as a senior
Varsity Basketball- 3 years
Varsity Baseball- 3 years
Fellowship of Christian Athletes- 4 years, president as senior
Program where my school partners with a city school to do service projects- 2 years, founder and president
National Honor Society- 3 years
Mu Alpha Theta- 2 years
SADD club- 2 years</p>

<p>My recommendations will most likely be very good. I'm working hard on my essays as well.</p>

<p>By the way, I live in MD</p>

<p>Definites:
-UNC
-Maryland
-Duke
-Penn State
-Notre Dame</p>

<p>Possibles:
-UVA
-Virginia Tech
-Penn</p>

<p>Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>You are competitive for just about all schools. The only thing which makes it difficult is the selectivity of the school (at top schools your competitors will have similar stats and the school still only selects 25% or less). Some questions to consider: do you need FA? What do you want to study? Answers to those questions will help guide the discussion.</p>

<p>thanks. and i’m looking into a major like biology or chemistry (something for the premed of predental track) so a school like duke fits that criteria. also, FA isn’t one of the top priorities right now, i’ll worry about it more after i have my acceptances. I guess i just wanted to see where other people thought i would have a shot so i can compare their opinions to my own.</p>
