<p>I'm just looking to see which schools on this list are reaches, matches, and safeties for me.</p>

<p>Grades:</p>

<p>Slacked off freshman, sophomore, and junior years, I will admit it.</p>

<p>Fresh- 2.9 UW 3.4 W
Sophomore- 3.1 UW 3.6 W
Junior- 2.9 UW 3.5 W (Took AP US History and got a 71%, 3 on AP test. Slacked off in this class again.)
Senior Year- (Grades closed for first quarter, I've finally started paying attention to my academics)</p>

<p>So far in first quarter- 3.7 UW 4.0 W, Going to keep this performance going for the rest of the year</p>

<p>SAT- CR 620 M 620 W 600/ 1840</p>

<p>Schools I'm applying to:
Temple
Pitt
Umass Amherst
Drexel
Rutgers
U Vermont
U New Hampshire (Instate)
U Maine
U Maryland Baltimore County
SUNY Buffalo </p>

<p>ECs-
Destination Imagination (Drama) 1,2,3,4
-Global competition at U of Tennessee twice
Community Caregivers (Volunteer) 1,2,3,4
- Help elderly in my neighborhood weekly
Baseball 2,3,4
Football 1,2 (manager Freshman year due to injury)
Mock Trial- 4</p>

<p>Intended major is Biology</p>

<p>Should I apply to a less rigorous and desired major, like global studies, and then transfer into the biology program after Freshman year?
Is that possible?</p>

<p>Want to work hard in college and get an MD or PHD</p>

<p>What other schools could I add?</p>

<p>(I've sent transcripts to all schools, but want to eliminate the schools that are unrealistic before paying the application fee)</p>

<p>I won’t give you random advice that is not accurate, but for Temple, you’ll probably get in. Someone from my school had a 2.6 and got in</p>

<p>That D in History though… Eh. Idk. It’s an AP class yeah but a D… Junior year too. I’m gonna say you’ll get in to Temple and maybe UNH. Maybe Rutgers. Pitt is a long shot and same with Maine and UMass Amherst. Drexel is a little stretch too. That D!!! Chance me.</p>
