<p>I haven't heard of any of those schools besides for Vanderbilt which I don't think you'll get in to. It's a super-super-super reach.</p>

<p>Eckerd College.....St. Pete FL <a href="http://www.eckerd.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.eckerd.edu&lt;/a>
Jacksonville Univ.........city of same name FL <a href="http://www.jacksonville.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.jacksonville.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>thanks i will look at those two</p>

<p>how are you in the national honor society. Don't you need a higher GPA to get into it. At my school, you need a 3.6/4 in order to apply</p>

6

<p>3.3 is my acedemic GPA I have a 3.7 overall thats what my school goes by</p>

7

<p>Our school goes by an academic GPA of 3.85 (regardless of reg/honors/AP), plus recs, plus comm.service to get into the national honor society. You should look at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida...a little known gem of a school.</p>

8

<p>At my school, you need a weighted cumulative of 3.4. Thats like 40% of our school.</p>

9

<p>Are you interested in continuing to ride during college? I don't know of many northern schools that show saddle seat, but maybe hunters would be fun for a change. A young friend from my barn is now attending Albion, and having a great time.</p>

10

<p>I have never shown any hunters but it might be fun. the reason I like Sewanne so well it because of there equine facility. I had planed to continue training on a limited bases and take a couple of my horses with me.</p>

11

<p>You are probably ok but I would suggest that your list could have a little more geographic diversity - maybe look at the following:</p>

<p>Bridgewater College (VA)
Albion (MI)
Cazenovia College (NY) - this one would be a likely for you!<br>
Colby-Sawyer College (NH) </p>

<p>You should be able to clean up in equitation on the flat once you alter your style ... much easier than gaited horses!</p>

12

<p>I relly liked the looks of Cazenovia except that its in New york but I might could handle that any other sugestions anybody and maybee some comments on my chances at Belmont and Sewanee</p>

13

<p>Just on stats (and there are many more elements to the application) Sewanee and Belmont are both in the match to reachy match category. Depending upon what your colleges are looking for, and your essays and recs, you have decent shot every school on your list but Vandy (which is a reach). However, what you don't have is a likely (or safety if you prefer) - if things go awry. If you like Cazenovia, apply. Remember that you won't be quite the same person in April that you are now. My son's first choice in November was not his first choice in April - and I know he was not alone in the switch.</p>

<p>Yeah I have already changed alot scince my serch began. In the begining I wanted a big school but now the smaller the better.</p>
