What do my options look like as far as top 100 colleges?
Hard to tell right now since you just completed your sophomore year. The weighted GPA is really low though. How do you compare gradewise to others in your class? If your school has Naviance check your profile to see where others who have a similar GPA/test score were accepted.
Since your school offers few APs, do more DE classes at your local CC or apply to a summer program at a university to earn college credit. Work on more leadership positions in school and outside of school in your community. It looks like you are working on it now, but keep at it.
Raise your standardized test scores as well. Try for around 1500 on the new SAT or consider the ACT.
I think your reach schools to consider now are BU and NYU. Work on your GPA junior year and it’s possible to achieve your goals.
What state do you live in? I had a 3.5 UW by the time my first semester of senior year was over (You have to do great your last semester to stay even competitive for a decent midsize state school). Had stellar EC’s and reccomendations. Ended up retaking the ACT (Might be worth your time just to see how you do) and got a 35.
Got into UC Davis and LA, Amherst, handful out of other state schools across the US.
Ended up committing to UT Austin. I’d highly reccomend applying (if you aren’t from Texas and can afford it). Texas had a great math program and is a well rounded school. Out of state applicants are also generally held to a lower standard for admittance (depending on major) compared to Texas residents.
