<p>I'm currently a junior in a NJ public high school- not one one the top high schools in NJ, but a good one.</p>
<p>Class Rank: 59/325 students
ACT score: 28. (I don't plan on submitting my SAT scores since they were awful)
GPA: 3.78 uw and 4.56 w
Junior Year: AP English and AP World
Senior Year: AP English, AP Psychology, and possibly AP Calc.
All of my other courses since freshman year have been honors.</p>
<p>EC:
active member in both key club and french club (9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade)
student ambassador, culture club, and media coordinator (leadership) for photography club (11th and 12th)
I plan to get into National Honors Society for my senior year.
I have a decent amount of community service hours already, but I'll be volunteering a lot over the summer before I apply next fall.
I've had a job last summer and hopefully will this summer.</p>
<p>This summer I'll also be taking a 3 week non-credit course at Brown University. I know it's not a very prestigious summer program, but I'm hoping it will show I took initiative over the summer.</p>
<p>I'm currently undecided but am interested in psychology, nursing, or visual communications.</p>
<p>Of course I won't be applying to any ivies, but I don't really know where to (practically) look for schools. I know I want to apply to schools in NJ and the surrounding states, and possibly North Carolina/South Carolina, DC, or the Boston area. Size doesn't particularly matter as long as it's not an overwhelmingly large (Penn State) or small school.</p>
<p>Public schools in NJ or private schools elsewhere would be preferred because I no longer have any money saved up due to my family's financial situation.</p>
<p>It would really help if you could recommend some safely, match, and reach schools for me!</p>
