<p>I've just been feeling really overwhelmed looking through all the stats on this site and I have to say I'm completely blown away...
I'm kind of at a loss for what I should be aiming for at this point. Suggestions would be really great!</p>

ACT: (taking in June)
SAT II: (taking Chemistry, US History, and Math II in May)

Senior Year Course Load: AP Biology, AP Gov/Econ, AP Spanish Language, AP English Literature, AP Calc B/C, Journalism 2
Major Awards : n/a (National Merit Commended maybe..I think a 211 qualifies for that?)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Key Club since Freshman year (Treasurer), NHS, CSF, Newspaper editor
Volunteer/Community service: I have no idea how many hours but definitely 100+, hospital work (ER, Nursing, etc), Key Club related activities

Gender: Female
Income Bracket: low?</p>
<p>You’re “blown away” by the stats on here, yet you have a perfect 4.0 GPA and a 2190 SAT…? Seems like you fit in perfectly here.</p>
<p>You ask us which schools are good for you yet you tell us nothing. What major/minor do you want? City/rural campus? Large/small school? Liberal arts or institute of technology? </p>
<p>I feel like at this point kids like you are just making topics like this to list out your “awful” stats for petty compliments or some sort of confidence boost.</p>
<p>Yikes…sorry to have come off that way. It’s the EC’s of the kids on here that have been making me nervous. I didn’t really even start thinking too much about that stuff until the beginning of junior year. </p>
<p>I’m thinking medicine at the moment. I love liberal arts too but my main goal is to be able to help people. I fell in love with Doctors Without Borders after we watched a documentary in class, because after having been to Bangladesh as a kid I just really had this urge to be a part of a humanitarian cause.</p>
<p>City campus would be lovely. I’ve never really had an experience with smaller schools so I’m not sure how I’d like that.</p>
<p>You have no reason to be nervous. You’ll get into college. A very good one at that.</p>
<p>I’m not really good at suggesting schools but you should consider UPenn. I was at their campus the other day (was visiting Drexel) and it was great. It has that city-ish feel to it. The area is great, its basically all college kids as its right across the street from Drexel. I don’t know much about it’s Medicine program, but I’m sure its very good. Your GPA and course rigor put you in reach. Try to get a 2200+ when you retake the SAT, write good essays, and get good rec’s and you’ll have a good shot.</p>
