Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi guys, this is my first post to college confidential and I am not really sure to start, so I figured I might as well ask the important question. what colleges can I get into. safeties, matches, and reaches are all appreciated as well as other random comments I guess. i am also looking for ideas for a summer internship, their seem to be no good internship resources on the web for high schoolers. internship especially interested in finance.</p>

<p>male junior in competitive Massachusetts private school
gpa [interesting story]. average gpa is 3.4 right now.
freshman gpa = 3.0
softmore gpa = 3.5
junior gpa after 1 trimester = 3.9 (this will probably drop a bit lower).</p>

<p>I have taken the hardest math and science classes in my school and am on pace for AP BC calculus and AP statistics next year</p>

<p>extracurriculars:
pretty good glass blower (3 hours a week)
Israeli folk dancer (2 hours a week) (i am a male)
TAB (teenage advisory board for the public library) meets once a month
member of environment club, scrabble club, AIPAC club.</p>

<p>PSAT = 217
I suspect I'll do well on all my standardized tests because I am pretty good at them.
do colleges look down on the ACT and look up of i submit both the SAT and ACT?</p>

<p>spent a trimester in Israel and a summer in Israel.
spent a summer learning java (computer language).</p>

<p>i am interested in BU, Cornell, NYU... and I am open to any other ideas.
also, any idea which SAT 2's are the easiest?</p>

<p>thanks a lot everyone</p>

<p>the easiest SAT IIs are in subjects that you excel in.</p>

<p>for me the chemistry SAT II was easy but to some people it's pretty hard.</p>

3

<p>i am not very good at chemistry but i am thinking about taking math1 and math2, physics, world history, us history, modern hebrew.</p>

<p>which do you think would be more impressive, a 700 on the world history sat 2 or a 600 on the modern hebre sat 2?</p>

4

<p>world history, unless uve never done anything with hebrew language</p>

5

<p>so its amazing, 60 views and 3 replies. anyone else have thoughts?</p>

6

<p>why take both math 1 and math 2? Why not just math 2?</p>

<p>Some to possibly check into are GWU, American, Michigan, Wisconsin, Tulane, Maryland, Syracuse, Lehigh, Lafayette and University of Rochester.</p>
