I’m currently a sophomore at a public school in New York state, and I’ve just been thinking about colleges. Any ideas of colleges that would fit me well?
unweighted GPA - 98 (9th grade), 98 (1st qtr of 10th grade)
SAT: 2060 (760 math, 650 reading, 650 writing)
Courses: (all honors unless otherwise specified)
took Algebra, Geometry, Alg II, and Biology before high school
9th grade - Precalculus, Earth Science, English, Global, French 5 (usually taken by advanced juniors and seniors)
10th grade - AP BC Calculus, Chemistry, AP World, English, French 6 (usually taken by advanced seniors)
Other activities:
school band (since 4th grade)
piano (since 2nd grade)
cross country (9th and 10th)
track and field (9th and probably 10th)
community service the past 2 summers (50hrs each summer) at a butterfly garden/museum
planning to attend Middlebury Language Academy next summer
I skipped a grade so I’ll be graduating at age 17. I will have enough credits to graduate after junior year but I’m not sure I want to graduate at 16 and I feel like that might limit my options for college to an extent. I don’t have a specific major in college in mind yet but I am interested in STEM and languages. I’m not as good with subjects like history and English so I probably won’t major in either of those. As far as location goes, I would like to stay in the general east coast area unless there’s a very good reason to do otherwise. I’m looking to go into a rigorous academic program where I would be thoroughly challenged. I have relatives who have gone to prestigious schools like Duke, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Brown so that could help me if I choose to go to any of those schools.
What are your thoughts?
