Trying to come up with a college list...

<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me if the colleges I'm looking at would be reach/match/ safeties for me... I know my list is really long now, I would ideally like to get it down to 12 schools and I'm hoping dividing it depending on my chances will help me.</p>

<p>Schools:
Emory
Georgia Tech (legacy)
College of Charleston
Elon
Wake Forest
Duke
UVA (in state)
College of William and Mary (in state)
University of Richmond
Boston College
Tufts
American University
UPenn
Fordham
Columbia
Brown
Tulane
Vanderbilt
Yale</p>

<p>Stats:
Classes:
-8th grade: Algebra 1 HN (A), Spanish 1 (A)
-Freshman year: World History 1 HN (A), Biology HN (B+), English 9 HN (A), Geometry HN (A-), Art (A), Gym (A), Spanish 2 (A)
-Sophomore year: AP World History (A), Chemistry HN (A-), English 10 HN (A), Algebra 2 HN (A-), Fashion Marketing (A), Gym (A), Spanish 3 (A-)
-Junior year (this year, the grades in paranthesis are my expected grades): AP US History (A), Physics HN (A), AP Lang (A), Precalc/Trig HN (A), SGA (A), AP Economics (A-), Spanish 4 (A)
-Senior year (classes I have signed up for): AP Comp Gov, AP Lit, AP Calc BC, AP Environmental Science, AP Spanish, SGA, Applied History (unique class to my school)
My weighted GPA is 4.3 and unweighted is 3.92. We don't do class ranks but I think I would probably be in at least the top 10% of my class.</p>

<p>ACT: 32 (I've taken the SAT, but my ACT is much better)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
-Girl Scouts since I was 5. I've earned my Bronze and Silver Awards and I am currently working on my Gold Award (making an educational booklet for Mount Vernon).
-Competitive Dance (think 15-20 hours a week, 6 days a week) since I was 4.
-I played field hockey in 9th and 10th grade but had to stop because of an ACL injury
-Math League 10th grade
-DECA 10th grade
-I joined Key Club, History Honor Society, National Honor Society, Student Government, and Model UN (I'm vice president) this year.
-I will be on Student Advisory Council next year (rep for my school's SGA in the county and with the school board)</p>

<p>Other:
-I won first place at the school, regional, and state level for National History Day
-I was a Girl Scout Congressional Aide last summer (a mini internship at a congressman's office)
-This summer I am going on a Girl Scout service trip to Costa Rica</p>

<p>I think you stand a good chance with your list. You have a good combo of matches, reaches, and safeties. You may want to look at North Carolina State, High Point, Boston University, Northeastern, and Brandeis as well. The first two are safeties and the other three are matches I believe.</p>

<p>Also, UConn and UMich?</p>

<p>For UMich, it would be a very high match to reach depending on which school you are applying. Higher ACT may help.</p>
