<p>So I'm an incoming senior and have been adding and erasing names off of my college list for two years now. I've heard that its best to choose a few reach schools, a few schools that I have a pretty good chance of getting accepted into, and a few safe schools. So here is my list (from most challenging to least, from what research I've done):
Princeton, Colgate, Bucknell, Boston College, Lehigh, Villanova, Lafayette, George Washington, Gettysburg, Dickinson, Fordham, American, TCNJ, Rowan</p>
<p>Personal Info:
SAT: 2100 630CR, 710M, 760W
GPA (unweighted): 3.83/4
Class Rank: 9/135
AP Courses Taken/Planning to Take: Chem, Physics, US History, European History, Spanish IV, Psychology, Calculus
Awards: National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society, Music Honor Society (VP), Presidential Academic Award, Spanish III Award
Extracurricular: Softball (Varsity all 4 years), Traveling Softball Team, (4 yrs) School Musical (4 yrs), Choir (4 yrs), Student Mentoring, Spirit Ambassador, Interact Club (Treasurer), Science Fair
Community Service: So much considering I'm required to do at least 20 hrs every year by my school</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into these schools?! Any schools I missed? Any schools I should completely cross off?!
Please help! Thanks for any advice you can give me!</p>
<p>Consider retaking SATs if you are applying to Princeton. Otherwise, I think you can get into the other colleges. Good luck!</p>
<p>@SeattleBulldog That’s pretty much what I thought too, thanks! Are there any other colleges like the ones listed that would be a good fit? If it helps, I’m looking to be a computer science major, with a minor (or maybe even double major) in music.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon?</p>
<p>@Slick908 I should add: I’m from the New Jersey, and I’m trying to keep myself on the east coast, but I’ll definitely look into Carnegie Mellon! Thanks!</p>

UVA has a fantastic business school. NYU Stern is one of the best as well. Rutgers should be a no brainer safety for you,</p>
<p>Oops sorry wrong post I thought you wanted to major in business for some reason lol</p>
<p>Everything is a match or lower, except Princeton, which unfortunately is a high reach. I’d consider replacing Princeton and a couple other schools that are highly competitive but not HYPSM. I have pretty similar stats to you and I am on the east coast. I am likely majoring in engineering, so I am also looking at math/science schools. I’m not sure how good of music program you’re looking for, but I think some schools you should consider are Dartmouth, Cornell, and northwestern, maybe UPenn, as low to moderate reaches</p>
<p>Also if you haven’t already you should really take the SAT IIs, which are usually requirements at upper end schools</p>
<p>Dubbs005 thanks for the input! I have taken them, and got a 710 on the Math 1 and not the best score on the US History one. I also took the history and psych AP tests, and will be getting my scores any day now.</p>
