You will probably get into all of these schools. You have amazing Extracurriculars, sports, and honors, good class rank and all of your SAT scores are within or above your schools’ averages.
Good luck .
Thanks again got your response.
You’re in at all. Did you apply for Honors College whenever possible? If not, please do so (it’s worth it for the more interactive and supportive classes, and the perks!)
They’re programs for the most driven students. You get lots of perks, like smaller, interactive classes with real professors (instead of TAs), Honors Dorms tend to be upper-class comfort for freshmen and are often guaranteed (Ie., the only students guaranteed housing at Temple are Honors Students, for instance), you have more support/advising/resources, sometimes there’s the honors lounge for you to hangout or print quickly and for free, or you get to register before others so that you can always pick the classes you need… it depends on the college but overall it’s a great opportunity. Check out to see if you need to apply or if it’s by invitation.
