Hey, I am a rising senior at a public high school in Georgia. I am ranked (last time I checked) at about the 6% mark out of a class of 500 (ish). My GPA is just below a 4, thanks to some B's from middle school. I will be graduating with six APs, lots of honors courses.

Extracurriculars:

Girl Scouts (6th grade until now)
- Silver Award
-Presidential Service Award
-Certificate of Kindness from Well Known Local Children's Hospital
- On the way to my Gold Award (more or less the equivalent of an Eagle Scout)
-President (2006-2007)
-Vice President of ___ Service Unit Activities (2006-2007)
-Various repeating service projects throughout the years

Crafty Needles Club
-Founding Member
-Member of Fundraising Board

Talented and Gifted Program
-Participation since elementary school

Honor Roll (9-11)

Teen Advisory Board for Local Library (9-10)

Yearbook (12)

Ok, testing:

SAT CR: 720
MATH: 590
WRITING: 600

Will take the ACT this Saturday.

Ok, so I've been looking at
UGA
GCSU
Elon University
Miami University (OH)
Wash U in St. Louis (unsure)
Berry
and
College of William and Mary (huge reach, love this school!!)

So, where do I stand? I'm especially curious about William and Mary and Elon, they're my favorites. I'd really rather not stay in state, and I'd love suggestions of matches in the Southeast reigon. Thanks for your time!

Oh yeah.. I'm a white female.

Is there any way for you to retake the SAT to pull up math? Because honestly, I think you have a good chance at William and Mary if you could bring your scores up. Have you looked at Oglethorpe? It isn't highly ranked for whatever reason but a huge percentage of our IB kids (public school in GA) go there. Much better atmosphere than Berry, GCSU, and UGA- very intellectual.

The next SAT date is in October-- Wouldn't that be too late?

Otherwise, thanks for all the advice. I'll check out Oglethorpe.

I am also from the south and I'd say ur in at UGA and you could probally get some merit money at Elon and Miami (OH). Right now, William and Mary may be a slight reach just because there are so many smart people who go there, but if you get your math in the 650+ range, you should be good.

a little bit of a bump..
