Where do I stand?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a junior from Illinois. The schools I want to apply to are Iowa State, Marquette, UIUC, and I'm gonna apply to ND but I doubt I'll get in. I'm also going to apply to DePaul and Loyola in Chicago. Here are my stats as of now:</p>

<p>competitive high school- not the best in the state but pretty close.
GPA- 3.7 weighted, but not by much, I'm only in two weighted classes.
Class rank- top 29% 250ish/800
AP's- 1 right now, 2 by the end of senior year
ACT: 26- but I'm retaking it;the class I'm in still has a few more weeks so this should go up.
If progression counts, the last three semesters I've recieved a 3.5, 3.85, and 4.15</p>

<p>EC's-
Marching Band
Jazz
Summer baseball during the last two months of the school year
Church groups-
service group
Apologetics (talking about catholic beliefs and such)
Retreat leader
I was asked to go to Boys' State. It's a week long camp thing through the American Legion; I guess they only ask a few people to go from each post.</p>

<p>feedback would be appreciated</p>

<p>A few more comments would be great.</p>

<p>I would say a decent chance. why not take the SATs and see what you get?</p>

5

<p>I don't plan on applying to any eastern schools so I'd rather put all my energy into the ACT. Plus isn't the SAT harder?</p>

6

<p>DePaul is easy to get into.</p>

7

<p>Might want to apply to Holy Cross-very good Catholic school 1 hour from Boston. HC is SAT optional and better academic reputation than Marquette or DePaul but might be a reach.</p>

<p>some people do well on the ACT but not hte SAT. some do welll on both. some only do well on the SAT. my friend got a 2200 SAT but a 28 ACT, whereas i got a 32 ACT and a 1700 SAT. you never know til u try, and u should take it.. ya never know. youll be fine at those schools i think, but i would advise u to take the sAT</p>
