<p>The problem is I don't have any. So I was wondering if, given my credentials, you guys could give me suggestions for some.</p>

<p>So;
I'm going to be a junior at my Ohio public highschool.
I'm currently ranked 3rd in my class of around 130 but I have the opportunity to go up in rank before I graduate.
I have a gpa of around 3.9 (4.5 weighted).
My PLAN score was in the top one percentile and I have a projected ACT score of 30-34.
My PSAT score was a 190 (projected 1900) but I took it as a sophomore (one year early).</p>

<p>By my senior year I'll be a four year member of varsity soccer and swimming and should be captain of both teams.
I'll also be a four year member of Quiz Team and should also be the captain.
I'm the treasurer of my class and a member of student council.
And hopefully I'll be admitted into National Honor Society.</p>

<p>As a side note I'd like to attend Amherst, Swartmore, or WUSTL.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>at the very least you should apply to Ohio and Ohio state as safeties</p>

<p>at least the state university of your state will be very safe…enough to count as a safety school</p>

<p>You don’t indicate any preferences for location or potential major, but since you seem to tend towards liberal arts colleges, look at schools like Denison or Wooster. If your grades, ECs and test scores play out like you suspect, you would be likely safe there, with some merit money.</p>
