With these grades, what are my chances at a good school?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I plan to finish senior year with a 3.5/3.6 GPA weighted average. Maybe 3.7.</p>

<p>I've also been taking a lot of SAT Prep classes, and will continue to do so for the next 2 years, so I plan to score a 2,000 or above on the SAT.</p>

<p>I am a sophomore only, but I want to be prepared, and see if I should improve on anything I can improve on in the meantime. </p>

<p>Currently in one AP Class(93 Avg, Unweighted), and plan to take an AP Class each year following. </p>

<p>My 9th grade grades major:
Geometry(I took Algebra regents): 85
Biology: 85
Global: 90
English: 85</p>

<p>10 grades(so far into 2nd marking period):
Trigonometry:85
Chemistry: 85
AP World: 93(Unweighted)
English: 90</p>

<p>EC's:
-One year on a camp basketball team
-Key Club
-GirlUp Club
-Currently at about 50 community service hours(Plan to finish with about 300 by end of high school)
-Pianist
-Plan to take level 1 NYSSMA(state-wide piano test) this year, level 3 the following year, and 5 or 6 my senior year, as I was told it looks good on your college application
-Guitar Club
-Tennis player(trying out for team on March 1st, probably will make)</p>

<p>I also know that colleges care about your essay and a story if you have one, and I believe I have a great background story, since my mom and I came out of poverty from a third world country, won a green card, and came to America.</p>

<p>I know that I currently get teacher recommendations from 2-3 teachers from my high school, probably will be a lot more heading into junior and senior year.</p>

<p>And that's it.</p>

<p>And I'm just asking you guys that I know I probably don't have any chance to get into an Ivy League school, but I want to ask you what type of school can I get into? Like give me some examples.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>You should look at this page post #2538. It will tell you what schools kids with a 3.0 - 3.3 GPA were accepted at (class 2013). </p>

<p>At least it will give you an idea of some schools you should be able to get into.</p>

<p>I’d say if you keep the same grades, a good reach for you might be BU, a match might be American University, and a safety would be SUNY Buffalo state…</p>

<p>If you can get your grades up to a 3.7, then I’d say a good reach would be URochester or NYU, a match might be Tulane, and a safety would be SUNY Geneseo or Drexel U</p>
