<p>Hi, I will be entering my senior year in high school this coming fall. IT's almost time to apply to college and Im getting nervous. I messed around in 9th and 10th grade, and began to seriously pick it up in my junior year. I still got grades from B+ to A+ with a B in Chemistry. Im in all honors except chemistry and english/history in 9th and 10th grade. My GPA so far is and 87.45 I hope it won't be too late to really boost my GPA during my senior year and have it affect my college admissions.</p>
<p>Im looking to go into the pre- med track and hopefully become a plastic surgeon.
I realize that it will be a long and challenging road, but I'm almost confident that I will succeed. Im not the most academically gifted in the math department, but Im strong in history, english and some sciences. (Not chem!!)</p>
<p>Anyways, I plan on applying to the following schools:</p>
<p>SUNY Stony Brook
SUNY Binghampton</p>
<p>MIDDLE:
NYU
Wash U. St Louis</p>
<p>REACH SCHOOLS:
UCLA
UNC Chapel Hill
U MIch Ann Arbor</p>
<p>I have taken the ACT twice and my highest scores so far are:
English 32
Reading 31
Math 24
Science 23</p>
<p>My highest ACT composite score is a 27.
I got an 1800 on the SAT. I will not be taking it again.</p>
<p>I have 3 more chances of improving my score. </p>
<p>My question is, what are the chances of getting into the schools I listed above? </p>
<p>Here is some info. about me... if it impacts my chances..</p>

<p>Im talented in visual arts, and I plan to use my work and talent to attach to my college applications.
^^ Does this have any affect on the admission process?</p>
<p>Im not just another high school artist who makes crappy(sorry if this is offensive) art and thinks its good. I used to be very serious about art and almost chose to go to school for it! But in my opinion, I found that it would be a great mistake...</p>
<p>I mainly focus on portraits. </p>
<p>I know my grades are not AMAZINGLY great, but they are good. I hope to write a killer college essay and use my art to get in....Since I cannot fully depend on my GPA and rank.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
