Applying to College
1

<p>Hey everyone! One of my problems is I don't know what type of schools I should be applying today. Here is an overview of my high school career so far (I'm a junior):</p>

<p>Girl Scouts
--> Earned Bronze Award, Silver Award, and am Working on my Gold Award
Fencing
--> JV Frosh and Soph, Varsity this year and most likely next Year, probably Captain Next year
Grades
--> Mostly As and A-s, with the occasional B+
Community Service
--> Extensive Community Service my Sophomore year
Course Rigor
--> All Honors, 1 AP Soph year, 2 AP this year, probably all AP Senior year
PSATS
--> I know they're not SATS, but i got in the 95% for PSATs overall.
Spanish Honors Society</p>

<p>I feel like I have a really good resume, but that I'm not ivy league qualified. What type of schools in the mid-atlanic area should I go for? (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York)</p>

<p>Some suggestions: Penn State, U. Pittsburgh, NYU,</p>

3

<p>Rutgers, TCNJ, Stevens depending on what you’d like to study.</p>

4

<p>I would sugges University of Michigan, University of Virginia, Boston College, Emory</p>

<p>It definitely depends what you’d like to study. U Pittsburgh, Villanova, Syracuse (if you don’t mind tons of snow), Rutgers, NYU.</p>

<p>Do you know what size school you’d prefer? A large (or small) university or small liberal arts college?</p>

<p>I would consider location too - would you like to be near/in a large city or suburbs, etc…</p>

<p>1) How much can you afford to spend on college?
2) What do you want to study in college?
3) Where (geographically) do you want to go for college?
4) What do you want to do in college?
5) What were your PSAT scores / are your projected SAT scores?</p>
