<p>With grades and (projected) scores like that you could be competitive at nearly any college in the country. At this point it’s more important to figure out what you want from your college experience. </p>

<p>What size school are you looking for? Do you want a LAC or a research university? Where do you want to be geographically? Do you want an urban campus, or something more (sub)urban?</p>

<p>A big part of college admissions is what colleges want you, but that doesn’t really matter until you figure out what you want.</p>

<p>Honestly, I need more information to suggest specific schools (size of school, preferred location, private/public preference, will you need financial aid, Liberal Arts or University, etc.), but just know that with those EC’s, GPA, and test scores, you’d be a competitive candidate at almost every school in the country. UNC Chapel Hill, Duke and Wake Forest are all in-state, so perhaps you should check those out, but beyond that I can’t tell you much without more information.</p>
