A+ schools for a B+ student?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Basically, my junior year has pegged me as a B+ student unfortunately, despite my very hard course load. 9th, and 10th grades were A-, and I’m planning on senior year first semester to be A-. I would really appreciate suggesting schools for me based on my grades and other stuff which is listed below. Thanks :)</p>

<p>School: Competitive school in nyc</p>

<p>SAT: 2170 (taking them again in the fall)</p>

<p>Junior Year courses:

  • French 5 Honors (AP) : Last year of the class, and I am one of 2 students taking it. highest lever of French offered
  • Precalc AB Honors
  • Constructing America: Mix of AP US History and AP English - only for our school, its a special course
  • Independent Study for painting and drawing anatomy
  • AP Biology</p>

<p>Summer Activities: this summer…

  • working at the UN writing papers/editing/translating into french for an organization: Global Action on Aging
  • Working with a doctor with Stem Cells
  • Art class at Colombia University
  • Possible job at a French school in the city - working as a camp councelor</p>

<p>Interests:

  • Art: painting/drawing/sculpture/digital/photograhpy: i have done almost every type of art making there is, but i specialize in drawing and painting. I have been doing so basically since i was born (no joke!) and have been commissioned several times to make paintings for people
  • Piano: been playing the piano since i was 4. Followed the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum, which was just introduced in NYC this year, so im one of the few kids in the city doing it. I am in grade 9, which means i will be able to teach next year! I’ve gotten tons of awards/certificates from playing in concerts.
  • Medicine: I have been volunteering for 4 hours every Sunday at 2 prominent hospitals in NYC for 2 years now
  • Tutoring: have been tutoring a 10th grader at my school in math
  • Sports: JV Tennis, V Cross Country, V Track
  • co-editor in chief of our school’s art magazine</p>

<p>SAT 2:

  • French language: 760
  • French Lit: 780
  • going to take Bio, Math 2</p>

<p>AP: I just took the French language and literature (last year!) and Biology</p>

<p>Random: I have lived in Canada for 10 years, London for 3 years, Japan for 2 years and New York City for 2 years. I have great recs, one from my french teacher who told me she “got someone into Yale”…and I love English and writing and it is my favorite subject, so essays shouldn’t be a problem.</p>

<p>well, its hard to chance you without giving any schools…</p>

<p>Didn’t you just do this thread a few months ago??</p>

<p>There is actually a book called “America’s Best Colleges for B Students” and lists 75 schools that you can read about, as well as a book called “Colleges That Change Lives” which includes schools for “A and B students” such as Goucher and Clark. While I never actually delved into them, you might want to consider looking into these books at your library or bookstore.</p>
