<p>Can someone please tell me my chances of getting into colleges, and an idea of some of the best colleges i'd be accepted to?
Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>with a high gpa and a high sat im sure u can get in… and get some more ec’s if possible. it won’t hurt</p>
<p>Well, there’s a bit of information missing here that would help us considerably…</p>
<ol>
<li>Different schools weigh GPA’s differently. How does your school calculate your GPA? Just giving us the letter grades really isn’t enough.</li>
<li>I would hate to say that admissions are based on test scores, but we need at least some indicator of how well you do on the SAT or ACT.</li>
</ol>
<p>Until you can provide us with that, all I can say is you need way more A’s. It is almost impossible for a B student to get into schools such as NYU and Cornell.</p>
<p>Your GPA is fine for Berklee, but they don’t consider SATs at all. The most important factor there is your musical audition - as it is at many/most colleges and conservatories, should you decide to study music.</p>
<p>Sophomore year is way too early to be “chance-ing.” It’s pretty likely your interest in schools will change between now and the end of your Junior year, and you’ll have a better idea of what you’re looking for in a school. Also, it’s really hard to chance someone based on stats from the first half of high school, anything could happen between now and then!
I also think you shouldn’t be asking “what are the best colleges I can get into?” but instead “what are the best colleges for me?”</p>
