What schools could I get into??

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I've looked at statistics, scores, grades, etc. for so many schools, but I'm still not sure where I fit in. I am currently a senior and will be applying this fall. I have a:</p>

<p>4.3 GPA weighted, 4.0 unweighted
I take multiple challenging AP and Honors classes
AP Scores: 5 on US History, 5 on Lang/Comp
My SAT score total is 2040 (CW 690, M 600, WR 750) (I'm retaking soon to improve my math)
SAT II's are: US History 720, Lit 670 (will retake Lit soon as well)</p>

<p>EC's:
Volunteer tutor for 2 years at an organization that helps struggling kids improve literacy skills
Board member of my school's student run drama company
A huge chunk of my time goes to the drama company after school, where I am costume designing for one show and acting in another
I take painting classes and paint recreationally
I play guitar recreationally
I am also looking for a job this year</p>

<p>In terms of awards, I only really have the "California Arts Scholar" award for attending CSSSA for creative writing
I also received the UC honor "ELC" thing but I'm not sure if that qualifies as an award</p>

<p>That's pretty much it...where do I fit in in terms of applicants? What schools should I be setting my hopes on? (I'm looking at the UC's Kenyon, BU, Northeastern, Bard, Colgate, ConnColl, and Hamilton to name a few)</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>Bring that SAT scores up and you should be set…</p>

<p>Bring the SAT scores up 100 points and show the small schools your interest.</p>

<p>Have you run the net price calculators yet? have you had The Talk with your parents about how much they will contribute each year (versus how much the npcs indicate the schools will expect them to pay)? </p>

<p>I was just about to suggest Northeastern - really great school for study abroad opportunities, even for majors that wouldn’t normally have options (my brother is majoring in chemical engineering and still studying abroad), plus you leave school with one year of work experience. In terms of your list of schools in general, I would say that they are all match, but you will want to bring up your SAT scores a little (I’d say 100 points and you should be good, definitely possible with super-scoring) </p>

<p>Have you look at the Claremont colleges? The combination of the schools should offer what you’re looking for.</p>
