You’re not applying to all of those, are you? You should really narrow down that list. You have some veryyy different schools on there.

3

I’ve only applied to about half so far and I may eventually narrow down the list. I do like different things about different schools.

4

Have you been accepted anywhere yet?

5

You have public universities from different states. Meaning out of state tuition. Not sure what state you are from but can your family afford the out of state tuition?

And what do you want to study?

@amanda625 dude, chillax. We all feel u. TBH though, narrow down that list, it makes no sense to apply to that many schools. Check out btw: reed college (no application fee) and case western reserve (no application fee).

UF, Fordham, and Tulane are on my college list… so if you ever feel the need to talk to an applicant, hmu lol.

8

I want to study political science

How much can your parents pay? It doesn’t do you any good to apply to schools that cost more than you can pay, so run the Net Price Calculator for each school and drop any that aren’t affordable.

You seem to have quite a few reaches on your list. As was mentioned in your other threads, your ECs won’t get you into schools you’re not academically qualified to attend, so apply to a couple but make sure you have some safeties on your list.

My D had similar stats (higher English, lower math, slightly higher GPA) and was applying to some of the same schools. Base on her experience I think you will get into Fordham, Quinnipiac, Syracuse and Manhattan. Miami, Tulane and GW are reaches but possible. I’m not sure about UMass, UF, UConn, NC State. What is your home state? The others are extremely unlikely.

AP scores from exams taken before senior year? SAT subject test scores?

The APs you’re currently in are the “lite” ones - I’m guessing the top schools on your list would have concerns about your course rigor.
