Hey y’all! Today marks one month until I start my junior year, and I need to really know where I stand for college admissions. I go to a large (1700+ kids in my class) public Texas High school, am upper middle class, and Indian. I want to major in international business or finance. My targets and reaches are: UW Seattle, UT Austin, Rutgers, Texas A&M, Penn State, University of Georgia, SMU, IU Kelley, UC Davis, SDSU, and University of Florida. I’ve posted my stats on here before, but I’ve come with more information and new opportunities under my belt. Unlike the previous posts where I’ve added my stats, I’ve only added current things I’ve actually done instead of also adding things I plan on doing in the future.

ACADEMICS:

4.06/5.0 W GPA

3.84/4.0 W GPA

Taking SAT soon

School doesn’t do class rank but they group you into “quartiles.” You’re told if you’re in the top 10% (within the first quartile). I’m in quartile one but not top 10% so I’m somewhere between the top 11% and top 25% of my class.

I plan to take 10 AP Classes throughout high school. I’ve taken two AP classes (APHUG in 9th and AP World in 10th) and got 5s on their exams. Junior year I’m taking AP Stats, APES, APUSH, and AP Lang

ECs:

Student Council (9)

NJHS/NHS (9–) - Try for officer senior year

I have an interview tomorrow for an opportunity to be on the board of directors (business related position) for an international 501(c)(3) nonprofit so this will be nice if I get the opportunity.

AWARDS:

Outstanding Effort in Biology (9)

Honorable Mention in Scholastic Art and Writing Competition (9)

Gold Key in Scholastic Art and Writing Competition (10)

Silver Key in Scholastic Art and Writing Competition (10)

HRC Honorable Delegate at TXMUN Regional Fall Summit (10)

I’d also like to wonder what are some good schools that aren’t on my list that I could maybe get in to (no budget, my parents just told me to focus on the quality rather than cost as it is not an issue for us). Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any tips!
