<p>hello. i am new here and i have done rigorous research on the schools i want to attend and wound up here. Im sorry if this thread has been posted more than a hundred times but i figured it would be easier for me to post here. please help.</p>
<p>Im currently a junior in highschool and i want to attend 4 highly recognized schools</p>
<p>-USC
-Michigan
-Wake Forest
-UT</p>
<p>high school credentials:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.76 unweighted/4.26 weighted
Class Rank: 48/551</p>
<p>SAT: 1850-1900 (assuming, i havnt received my scores yet)
ACT: not taking
Teacher Recs: very well rounded and put together.</p>
<p>I looked around the forums and my question was never answered right on the dot. Currently my sister attends USC and will be a senior by the time i get into college. Will this account for me being a SCion or any sort of alumni at all? On the USC application it asks for Dad/mother/grandparent/siblings - which is why i ask</p>
<p>I am in National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society, And plan to graduate on the highest diploma plan my high school offers.</p>
<p>I have completed Semesters of AP courses but was unable to finish because they were a little too difficult, but as of next year(my senior year) i will be taking 5+</p>
<p>I've been involved in the Choir at my school since freshman year - I am a leader holder in the program</p>
<p>I"ve been involved with running with the track and field and cross country team since freshman year as well</p>
<p>I am the leader of History club at my school and as of next year will have position in Spanish Nation Honor Society, Muy Alpha Thea(Math Club), and possibly Key Club</p>
<p>I work in the summer for my parents, and have participated in a program called Project serve every year since the 8th grade to help teach under privileged children, and i teach VBS at my church as well. </p>
<p>All of my classes are Honors/AP</p>
<p>Last but not least i am enrolled in a leadership class that will let me teach and help children with academics next year.</p>
<p>basically, i want to know if my 4 schools are a reach, and what i should do from here to the fall of my senior year to ensure my chances at these schools, im really scared at the thought of applying to college so any information would help, please and thank you</p>
