<p>I am the first kid in our family going to college in America, and while researching a few schools I kept seeing this site pop up. So, I decided to sign up and ask a question or two.</p>
<p>===</p>
<p>A little about me, I am half Kaqchikel Guatemalan and half German, born in North Carolina.</p>
<p>I have taken the SAT 3 times, and have scored a 720 in Math, 750 in Critical Reading, and 610 in Writing, and am waiting on results from the 3rd Test I took on Oct 1st.</p>
<p>I am 15th in my Senior class of about 530 students, and have a 4.8125 weighted GPA (Our school awards a 5 for an A in an honors class, 6 for an A in an IB/AP class).</p>
<p>I am taking the IB program at our school as well.</p>
<h1>I have only made As and Bs in HS, and consider my gradess ok I guess.</h1>
<p>I have applied to NC State and the Colorado School of Mines. I plan on applying to Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Clemson, University of Arizona, University of Texas at Dallas and University of Texas at Austin, and Penn State. </p>
<p>I was just curious if you all think I could make the colleges I am considering, and if you think I am being too safe/too risky or any other colleges I should consider looking at.</p>
<p>Any help is much appreciated! Advice, etc, and thanks in advance anyone who does post help!</p>
