<p>hello everyone! I am a junior, and just found this site, it has been great as I am a first generation college kid. I was wondering if anybody can give me some REALISTIC SUGGESTIONS and some REACH SCHOOLS that I can look into and do more research on. </p>
<p>my interests:
Major: Business
Setting: Preferably a city, but a college town or a nice campus is okay too, NO RURAL
Size: medium-large</p>
<p>my credentials:
GPA: 4.4 (cumulative over 3 years)
Rank: 16/297 (5%)
SAT: R:660 M:650 W:670
AP's: 3 next year
(Plan on taking 2 SAT II's, SAT I 2 more times and the ACT twice)
EC's: As a short summary, i'm on the debate team, will be president of the future business leaders club next year, am on the board for Spanish honors society, am on math honors society, national honors society, will be a peer leader and have a freshman homeroom next year, tutor for math and national honors societies 2 hours a week each, separately tutor learning disabled kids one-on-one for about 4 hours a week and started a charity club this year, one in my church and one in my school that together have raised over $10,000 to build wells for villages in Africa where they do not have access to clean drinking water.
Some additional things that may be worth noting, as I have said, I will be the first person in my family to attend college. My father grew up very poor and is an immigrant from Greece. I also can speak Greek as a result and it is a big part of my life. I go to an all boys catholic school in NJ, I will be taking precalculus honors over the summer months there to get ahead of my peers so I am in Calc AB in the fall. I participated in one of those LeadAmerica leadership seminars for 2 weeks last summer, idk if that counts for anything, i doubt it, and will probably be doing another 2 week business program at BU this summer after my precalc class is done and before I go to greece. </p>
<p>If you need any more info let me know!</p>
<p>Thank you all so much in advance! i really appreciate it!</p>
