<p>Hey Guys!
So I am a junior in High School and i was wondering what schools i should look into like what schools i might have a chance to get into and stuff. My family is not educated in college ordeals and neither am i so i was just also looking for some tips and stuff because i really do not know a lot about this stuff.</p>

<p>Rank/School: I go to the best public School in Vt so its super competitive. We do not do class rank because of how competitive it is here and stuff. My school sends people to very good schools and is a very respected place.</p>

<p>GPA/Classes: During Freshman year I took all honors classes besides two of the 5. Honors spanish 2, Honors Algebra, Honors geo civ, Earth science, English 9. I ended with a like 87 or 86 it was not a strong year. In sophomore year I took 6 classes all honors. Honors Spanish 3, Honors latin 1, Honors English, Honors geometry, Honors Bio, Honors Geo civ. I ended with like an 88 a little better than last year but not by much. Junior year i am taking 7 classes all honors besides the EC because you can't take honors EC and I am taking one AP. I know one AP is not a lot but we have a very limited choice in APs and none of the other ones interested me. I am taking Honors algebra 2, Honors Chemisty, Apush, Honors english, Honors spanish 4, Honors latin 3 (skipped a year), intro to business. I have a 93 average and should be able to maintain that all year. </p>

<p>ECs: Three varsity sports captain of the cross country team, Varsity downhill skiing, and varsity track three years in a row. I also manage a business with another couple students doing the accounting ordering and such a very cool business. Put in a lot of hours after school emailing others and managing the business. I also have taken trips to Australia for cross country representing Vermont and such in races over there.</p>

<p>Recs: i could get very very good recommendations from any of my teachers they really like and respect me. </p>

<p>SAT/ACT: On practice Sat I'm at about a 1700 equivalent to the SAT so I'm sure with studying I could bring it up to a 1900 or so as i will study. </p>

<p>So i was wondering what schools i could get into or what schools i should look at my family is not very college oriented and is not very familiar with the process. Also any suggestions that i should to make myself look better thanks for looking at this post and helping me out. </p>

<p>To be frank, if you go to such a competitive school, you should be able to score higher than an 1800 (I picked the middle) on the SAT. Depending on where you are looking, I would advise shooting for AT LEAST a 2000 and possibly trying out the ACT (I liked it better, and scored higher). As you are a junior, you probably just took the PSAT (?), so I would begin studying for the SAT if you haven’t already. I know it is boring, but it’s so worth it, and so relieving to get a score you are happy about. </p>

<p>TL;DR Aim for a higher score if you go to such a competitive school/live in that region.</p>

<p>Also, it isn’t early enough for anyone to say which colleges you could get into w/out any of the main test scores.</p>

<p>Can you get in ANY college? Absolutely.</p>

<p>Can you get in good colleges? I don’t think so with that SAT. Whatever schools you are applying to, you need better SAT/ACT results. Fortunately, you are a junior still. </p>

<p>You have to find what colleges you like AND can afford on your own. Each school has a different vibe. I don’t really see what you are particularly passionate about solely based on what you wrote. </p>

<p>For now, dedicate your time in studying, test, and ECs that you really like. If you are interested in selective colleges that you need to have some national/state awards to be competitive…</p>

<p>Now are you saying good colleges such as ivys? because i have no interest in trying to get into those. I want to go into business. So are you saying that i could not get into any good schools? because that PSAT score was with not stuyding </p>

<p>I was just hoping to get an idea of good business schools that i could get into and lets just say i got a 2000 on my SATS</p>

<p>Yes thank you ya i was low balling myself for the SAT i am trying to get a 2000 or higher and i will be taking studying courses and such to help me out. I was also going to try out the ACT because my teachers say kids from my school do a lot better on it. Thanks for the great reply. </p>
