What is a Good Fit ?/ Chance Me !!!!!!!!!

College Search & Selection
1

I am an upcoming senior in high school in the class of 2019. I have a list of the six colleges I am planning on applying too but I don’t know if I need to add anything else… please let me know if anyone has any other ideas for me. I am looking for a big school that has a very present greek life and lots of school spirit. I do not want to stay in Florida. I also would like there to be a sufficient Jewish population on campus.
Here are my stats…
OOS (Florida)- large public school in affluent community
Female
SAT- 1350 (680 English, 670 Math)- 16 on essay
ACT- 28 composite, 29 superscore (not submitting this I think)- 10 on essay
unweighted GPA- 3.5ish
weighted GPA- 4.1ish

APs- Human Geography, World History, European History, Environmental Science, U.S. History, Chemistry, Psychology, Language and Composition

Senior Year Schedule- AP Government, AP Economics, AP Literature and Composition, AICE Physics (this is weighted as an AP… cambridge version of AP in Florida), AICE Travel and Tourism, AP Statistics, Student Leadership

Extracarriculars- National Honor Society, 500+ community service hours through teaching kids in Hebrew school, Secretary of National History Club, Cheerleading JV captain in 10th grade and Varsity captain in 11th grade, Gay Straight Alliance Club, School Spirit Club,Secretary of School Service in Student Government in 10th grade, Committee Head of Citizenship Development in Student Government in 11th grade, Parliamentarian of Student Government in 12th grade, Jewish Student Union Club, Teens Against Relationship Abuse. Over summer I was a counselor in training with children with developmental disabilities at summer camp for two years. I am also involved in many social justice programs in our community… attended many anti gun rallies, mental health summits, and am currently a Mental Health Ambassador at my school
so basically I have tons of extracurriculars
Haven’t written my essays yet but they hopefully will be very very strong

The schools I am planning on applying to are (in order of interest level):
University of Michigan- Ann Arbor (DREAM SCHOOL!!!)
University of Wisconsin- Madison
University of Maryland- College Park
University of Georgia
Indiana University- Bloomington
University of Florida

Thank you!! please help <33

Where are your safety schools? The out of state acceptance rates for many of the schools on your list make them a reaches, not matches.

Indiana is a safety; I’m not applying to Kelley

Look into Tulane. I could see that being a good fit for you! Like @momofsenior1 said, the OOS acceptance rates are dramatically lower, making the schools you have listed much harder to get into. I would recommend adding a couple of safety schools that you’re positive you’ll be accepted to. Some that come to mind are University of Central Florida or Florida Atlantic University, University of Alabama, and James Madison University.
