<p>Great job on taking challenging courses so far! I’m a junior and my grades and EC’s seem pretty similar to yours… The schools I’ve been looking at are UCLA (My top choice), UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, USC, Pepperdine, UT Austin, Boston University, and Boston College.
Obviously those colleges have varying degrees of selectivity for admissions because I want to be sure to get in somewhere! I think you would have a reasonable shot at all of those schools IF you do well on the SAT and a few SAT Subject Tests as well. Also… The majority of colleges I will apply to are located in California (Because I live here:) haha) So if you’re not from California, a UC probably wouldn’t be the best deal for you. Where you want to go to school definitely has to do with the region of the country you’re interested in and if you want a small, private school or a larger public university. Anyways, that’s about it, but good luck with your search!</p>
