What's the best college you think I could get into?

Applying to College

<p>I'm basically going at this whole college thing alone, and feel slightly lost at the moment. I keep being informed that I am under-achieving in my college choices, but at the same time, I don't want to shoot too high.</p>

<p>So, here is my stats:
Weighted GPA: 4.2
[Don't know my unweighted GPA]</p>

<p>SAT: 1980
Reading: 700
Math: 650
Writing: 630
[First time that I took the test, and I had barely studied. I am taking it again in November, and plan on scoring at least a 2100, as I am studying hard this time around.]</p>

<p>As far as classes go, I have taken only two years of a language (Latin) which I feel to be my main weakness. I took two APs my sophmore year, five my junior year, and am taking four this year. I have only failed one exam and am an AP Scholar with Honor. </p>

<p>Extra-curriculars:
Church basketball since the third grade
Varsity Cross Country (captain my junior year; could not run this year due to knee injury)
Varsity Track (all years but junior year--same knee injury)
Young Democrats (Public Relations coordinator)
Key Club</p>

<p>I know that this is not a fabulous resume, don't get me wrong. But I am planning on doing pre-med, and I would like to find the best colleges possible that I can get into for the purposes of getting into a good grad school.</p>

<p>Is there an area you want to stay? How large a school do you want? Is financial aid something you’ll need? Can U give us more?</p>

<p>Why don’t you go to your local library and look up college search books too.</p>

<p>Those are some pretty solid stats, especially if you get your SAT as high as your saying you will. Your in range for some pretty good school, UPenn could be a great option but a bit of a reach, Colgate (if your interested in that type), George Washington, Duke could be an option, UCLA if you have the SAT IIs, but like the above poster said, it really depends on what kind of school you are looking for</p>

<p>I want to stay east coast and have a mid-sized school–not super small, but not huge either. Three thousand to five thousand people would be ideal. Also, I wanted to add that I’m currently in an orthodontic internship, which I have been apart of for over a year now, and plan to continue until I go to college. I’d really like a place that has solid chemistry and biology departments.</p>

<p>We need to know your UW gpa to have a clear view of the best college we think you could get into. Giving us your weighted GPA will not help us, as many high school weight their GPA’s differently.</p>

<p>And whether or not you need FA. If you do then you might be best off looking at your instate public.</p>

<p>For the record 3-5 thousand students is considered small, medium is 8-15 thousand</p>

<p>Have you looked at Wake Forest?</p>
