<p>Hello fellow high schoolers, college students, and graduates. I'm about to start the college application/selection/death process and just need a little help. I would really like to form, with the help of you kind people, a solid base of schools in which are realistic with my credentials.<br>
Basically I'm going to post everything about myself: grades, act, extracurriculars. With this information, I ask that you comment the following:
the most prestigious schools you think I could be accepted to and what schools you believe I could get at least full tuition (if that's even possible for me). Just base this on your research and personal experience. </p>

<p>My "stats"
4.0 gpa
7 ap classes (4's and 5's on the tests I've taken so far)
30 act (definitely the worst part of my application but this score was with minimal work. I'm taking it again in September and am definiteldy even now feeling more prepared. A 32 would be a reasonable estimate.)</p>

<p>Clubs:
Beta club (president)
Mock trial (president/lead attorney)
Model Un (president)
Honor society
Ap club
I think I'm leaving something out but oh well</p>

<p>Sports:
4 years of varsity tennis
Made it to the state tournament in doubles</p>

<p>Music:
Nashville youth symphony
1st chair all state musician
Mid state musician every year
1st chair all county band every year</p>

<p>Work:
Currently in a 2 month summer paid internship as a research/developer in a drug testing lab. </p>

<p>That's everything that I can think of. I realize that choosing a college is more on personal attraction and the program I'm interested in but it would be nice to get a gauge on my ability.
Thanks peeps</p>

<p>You seem really solid with your Music stats and Work experience. While you aren’t Ivies-material, you’re basically one or two steps below that-which is still awesome!
I think UMich is a great fit for you, or even U of I. Sorry, I’m a Midwesterner if that irks ya.</p>

<p>But yea, schools at that rigor are great for you and just make sure you’re logical and practical in your college applications. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks! I’ve actually looked a lot at UMich</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>I’m hardly qualified to chance you but your music/work are pretty impressive - what schools have you looked at?</p>

6

<p>I really like Emory but I definitely don’t want to pay that much for college. The plan is med school after undergrad so it’d be nice to get out of undergrad with minimal debt. </p>

<p>If you want minimal debt go to state U, depending on they U you should get a good chunk of merit aid.

<p>I really hate all of the in state public universities in Tennessee. I was thinking about SLU. I think I could get a fair amount of money there. What do you think?</p>

<p>Look into Alabama you should get a ton of merit there

<p>What is your intended major? If you are going to study music performance, you may have a chance at UMich. Otherwise, it is a reach right now.</p>

12

<p>I play bassoon and I’m the top ranked in the state. So I’ve had a lot of offers already from schools giving almost full rides for music. However it’s probably the last thing id want to major in. I’m more interested in the Econ/premed route. Although id definitely play music in schools for some money if I could avoid the major. </p>

<p>Alabama has a great marching band, if that’s your thing (though it probably has a great symphonic band too, if you prefer that, though I don’t know much about it)</p>

<p>Bump </p>

<p>Have you considered double major?</p>
