Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>i posted a topic about my reaches pretty recently but i'm in need of some guidance on which schools i'm a solid match for. my main safety is Stony Brook and my ultimate dream school is CMU; idk what schools i'm a solid match for, though. i messed around freshman and sophomore year and screwed myself over with regards to my gpa and extracurriculars, so i dunno lol. </p>

<p>i'm looking for affordable + fairly competitive schools, preferably with a greek life haha
any recommendations or advice would be appreciated! </p>

<p>Standardized Tests:
SAT I: 2300, 800 CR, 700 M, 800 W
PSAT: 227
SAT IIs: 800 Literature, 720 Math II (took it on the spur of the moment, i'm retaking and my projected score is 790-800), + i'm planning on taking the physics one</p>

<p>GPA W: 97 < my school doesn't rank but all the really smart kids have 100+ and the valedictorian is usually around 105
APs are weighted 1.08 and honors are 1.06</p>

<p>AP Courseload:
Sophomore
World History - 4
Statistics - 4</p>

<p>Junior:
BC Calc
Physics B
USH
English Lang & Comp</p>

<p>Senior:
Multivariable Calc
Chemistry
Environmental Science
Psychology
Gov & Politics
Literature</p>

<p>ECs/Other:
- 100 hrs volunteering @ hospital + 25 from a service oriented camp
- vocal music for ~11 years, performed at a lot of local venues and received awards, but nothing prestigious
- clarinet for eight years, played in school and took lessons, scored consistent 95+ on state level auditions
- marching band
- wind ensemble
- staff writer in my school paper in 9th, editor in 10th and 11th (hopefully next year as well)
- national honor society
- regional essay competition awards (LILAC)
- science olympiad 9th and 10th...never went to states
- national merit semi-finalist (?)
- i'm a fairly good writer so my essays will work in my favor. also the teachers i plan on asking for recommendations adore me lol</p>

<p>Intended Major: not sure, definitely something math/science related</p>

<p>Do you know your unweighted GPA? Test scores are great and EC’s aren’t bad. It is quite feasible for you to get into CMU.</p>

4

<p>Do you have any qualms regarding weather, size, or location? If not, you should look into USC, Northwestern, WUSTL, Michigan, and Rice (doesn’t have a greek life, but it does feature the Residential system). </p>

<p>If you want more of a reach, consider Duke and Cornell.</p>

<p>unweighted is probably around 93, I don’t know what it is exactly, unfortunately :confused:
my grade has around 620 students, and around 150 have a 90+ weighted GPA, so mine isn’t too good comparatively lol</p>

<p>i’d love if it was located in or in the outskirts of a metropolitan area! thanks for the suggestions, i’ll look into them</p>
