Where Can I get Accepted?

<p>Were do I have a decent chance of getting accepted?</p>

<p>Academics:
Unweighted GPA is 3.3, weighted is 3.9, top 29% (terrible sophomore and freshman year but improved significantly junior and senior year). IB and AP student. My teachers and guidance counselor all like me so I'm assuming they wrote good recommendations. I also don't have any "joke" classes(pottery, woodworking, etc.) in my junior and senior year schedule, I only have IB classes and am taking IB economics and IB psychology as electives. My schedule is probably one of the most rigorous my school offers.</p>

<p>SAT-2000, Reading-650, Math-660, Writing-690</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Member of 5 clubs including NHS(national honor society), board member in a prestigious Florida science club and interclub council member in a culture club. 150+ hours of community service which include working at summer camps, hospital, and dog kennels. I've also shadowed several doctors and attended a doctor's conference. I am a very widely traveled person and am trilingual. I am also from a foreign country but live in the U.S. if that helps. I've one a few awards here and there but nothing special, just honor roll and stuff like Spanish student of the month. I was also on the 2012 prom court, not an academic achievement but a social achievement, so it may help. Also I was a performer in two acts in the school talent show.</p>

<p>I am planning on beefing up my resume before January with science fair, ACT, SAT subject, and maybe even a service project on an international scale if my schedule permits me.</p>

<p>Final Question:
I am applying to some selective colleges such as NYU, Boston University, University of Washington, uchicago, and Emory( I know I have terrible chances but it's worth a shot). My backup colleges are pretty much all the state schools in Florida and the university of Miami.</p>

<p>So which schools do I have a decent chance of getting into? I am shooting for a top 50 school but wouldn't mind going to a top 100 or even top 150. Also if you guys could recommend any schools to me that'd be awesome.</p>

<p>Can you pay full freight at your out-of-state schools?</p>

<p>NYU: Reach
BU: High match
UWA: Reach
UChicago: Reach (almost unreachable; even so, pay attention to your essays)
Emory: Reach
FSU: Low match
UF: Match
UMiami: Low match</p>

<p>Forgive me, I’m not very well-educated when it comes to payment types. I’m assuming full freight means that I’m paying for school without financial aid. If this is the case then maybe. I know for sure thet I’m not applying for income based financial aid. However I may apply for several scholarships. However in reality I’ll probably end up paying full freight. I’m guessing that paying full freight increases my chances of getting into an out of state school.</p>
