These are what I have by the end of my senior year (this year) and how I got into BU with a full-ride. Hope I helped. I would definitely try to take more AP classes to bring my GPA up and take the SAT until I’m at least 1360.
Congratulations on your hard work and success! That seems like a very good, balanced list. There are so many factors–for example financial ones–that’s it’s hard to give a solid answer unless it’s an obvious one, and then it wouldn’t be helpful.
BU is probably the most competitive and is probably the biggest reach, but certainly reasonable to shoot for, then Syracuse, particularly for journalism, and Rutgers I’d imagine. Fordham’s competitive too, but you’re a good student.
Are some of these schools, and the others, likely affordable for you and your family? That’s crucial too.
Keep working hard, have some fun, enjoy the process, you’ll end up at a good school and have an opportunity to do well. Good luck!
