A potential list....

College Search & Lists
1

<p>ok, so I need a bit of help deciding on which colleges to apply to:</p>

<p>GPA 3.4 (unweighted)
SAT II 1860
ACT 29 (plan to take it one more time)
Major horticulture, entimology, dairy science</p>

<p>Based soley on my stats as given, what are some schools that i should look into? Location, tuition, etc. isn’t an issue at the moment, it’s just a list afterall :)</p>

2

<p>I take a full IB coutrseload, if that helps :)</p>

<p>IB Topics in 20th Century (HL)
IB Math (SL)
IB Biology (HL)
IB Chemistry (HL)
IB Environmental Systems (SL)
IB English (HL)
TOK (required IB seminar course for graduation)</p>

<p>*hopefully these will result in an IB Diploma :)</p>

3

<p>the only school that comes to mind based on the majors you listed is Deep Springs College in Nevada, but that’s extremely hard to get into</p>

4

<p>Cornell University (reach)
University of California-Davis (match)</p>

<p>Other good ones:</p>

<p>Michigan State University
Pennsylvania State University-University Park
Purdue University-West Lafayette
Texas A&M University-College Station
Virginia Tech</p>

<p>SAT II 1860 <– ???</p>

<p>I’m assuming that’s your SAT score. Could you break that down into Math/Verbal and Writing? Some schools don’t consider the writing section except as a check of validity for your essay (aka if you write a stellar essay and have a 500 writing score something’s fishy).</p>

<p>What about SAT IIs? Your GPA is decent for someone taking a full IB courseload, but if you could post your weighted one it would help a great deal because a lot of colleges use that, and what area are you looking into or does location not matter?</p>

<p>I’m unfamiliar with your intended major, but I would think that Cornell’s school of Agriculture or any A&M school would be good for that.</p>

6

<p>North Carolina State University</p>

<p>thanks a lot, and btw, I believe I got a 570 math, 610 CR, and 680 Writing (though i really don’t want to submit my SAT scores, I think I’m more of an ACT person)</p>

<p>Play around with this site - the American Society of Horticulture Science. There is a college section among the headings. Looks like Virginia State is your local school for horticulture.</p>
