What kind of colleges can I get into?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm thinking about engineering, physics, chemistry, or math (I know I might not be able to stretch a math degree much, but I'd rather do something interesting, I don't care about money). Somewhere that has a mild climate...I'm from New Jersey and I hate the winters. Cost is extremely important, but I still want to know what kind of schools I have a good chance at, be it with full tuition. </p>

<p>Anyways, onto my qualifications. Since my stats profile is somehow broken, I'll manually type in everything. </p>

<p>Gender: Male
Class: 2009
Public high school that sends <em>many</em> students to Ivies. About 500 students in our class, I think i have a good shot at top 10%. Very competitive, full of asians, and higher levels are pretty difficult.
GPA: 3.65 unweighted, 5.20 weighted (estimates including junior year)
Unfortunately, junior year probably will be my worst year. I'm expecting three or so B-B+ grades. Sophmore I had 3 B+'s, and the rest A's. Freshman all As except for one B. I take the highest courses offered at our school, including AP US History, English Language, Calculus, and the rest is honors.
SAT: 2200, I'm retaking this in October, hopefully I get into the upper 2200's or above. (800 math, 670 critical reading, 730 writing)
SAT IIs: I've only taken history so far, expecting the grades next week, and I'm confident in a high 700.
APs: Just took three, expecting a 5 in Calculus and US History, and a 4 in English Language.
Community Service: Volunteered at library during the summer, worked paid there the year after, also volunteered doing latchkey watching kids.
Extracirriculars: Chemistry/Physics club, participated in Chemistry and Physics Olympics for past three years. We might win this year, hopefully. Also in FIRST robotics, we're a rookie team. Also participated in chemistry league, but not much success there. As for leadership, I might get a position in chem phys, and I'm already part of the Key Club Executive Board. I'm in Spanish Honors Society (and tutor regularly as well, receive community service hours), probably will be accepted into Science Honors Society.
I got rejected from NHS (should have appealed but missed the deadline). It's pretty stupid since so many people who have no character or leadership (I know one who smokes weed in the bathrooms ffs) are accepted and all my dedication to these clubs is going unrecognized.</p>

<p>So what kind of schools would you recommend that I can realistically get into..?</p>

<p>I'm not familiar with your area, but from the info you provided, you seem like a good candidate, though your gpa is a bit on the weaker side.</p>

<p>You should apply to your state schools and look into the ivy league ones as well.
Apply broadly!! (safeties, matches, reaches, apply to a school of each type!)</p>

<p>Most people don't apply to certain schools because they don't think they will get in, but really, the application fee, and a little bit of time to write the essay is a SMALL cost.</p>
