<p>I'm a junior at a private school and was wondering realistically where I should actually be considering. I had a 3.3 GPA freshmen year, 3.4 GPA sophmore year, this year so far I have a 3.5 GPA in junior year. Freshmen year I had one honors course, sophmore two honors course, and now I am in four honors courses all in my core subjects. My school only offers three AP classes and they are really hard to get into. I have three varisty letters from swimming, probably a fourth in senior year. Have played jv for tennis, golf, soccer, and baseball. Am the President of my Model UN club and film club. Have done over 200 hours of community service for red cross and various community museums. Have played in carneigie hall for piano and viola last year and am a TA for the chorus teacher and I accompany the choir on the piano for their concerts. I attended the national youth leaders conference and then the presidential inaugural youth conference. Have studied at summer programs in Yale and Wellsley in psychology, architecture, and business management. Next year, senior year, I'm taking AP Calc, an independent study in Arabic, Medieval History Honors, and a college level seminar on Faith and Doubt. I was also the lead actor in a small film that was accepted and shown at the Garden State Film Festival. I got a 1860 on SAT, with a 1240 combined Math and Critical Reading. Any response would be great or direction for senior year or the remaining junior year. Here are the colleges I'm looking at so far and any comments would be greatly appreciated:
Drexel
NYU in Abu Dhabi
NYU
Cornell
Brown
UPenn
BU
BC
Northeastern
CUNY Binghamton
Penn State
LaSalle
USC
UNC</p>
<p>there’s no CUNY Binghamton… Binghamton’s in SUNY system</p>
<p>With Cornell, Brown, and UPenn, I think you should bring your SAT up to at least 2000.</p>
<p>Drexel - match
Cornell, Brown, UPenn ,NYU in Abu Dhabi - You’d need a 2100+ SAT, you also need to bring up your GPA
NYU - High reach (bring up your scores and gpa)
BU - reach
BC - reach
Northeastern - reach
CUNY Binghamton - ?
Penn State - bring up your scores and GPA
Lasalle - ?
USC - High reach
UNC - High reach</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice and if my GPA and SAT scores didn’t go up and stayed where they were, would my chances be shot with all the extracurriculars?</p>
<p>your extracurriculars are impressive, and so should be your academic achievements in order to get into some of the schools you mentionned. Work hard and good luck!</p>
