Hey folks. I’m a rising senior looking to start applying to college. I’m a unremarkable white male from Georgia, kinda struggled academically, still looking to go to a decent college.
Intended major(s): Astronomy or Physics
Academics: I’ve taken all honors and gifted courses since freshman year. Dual enrollment Junior and senior years.
ACT: 31 Composite
Class rank: 60/260
UW/W GPA: 3.4 UW Gpa, school doesn’t weight my classes.
Awards: Top math student freshman year, member of local honor society (not NHS).
Extracurriculars: Skeet shooting: Top 10% of all shooters worldwide, lots of placing and trophies (100+), 35/700ish all Junior Shooters in the US. Local Skeet League Winner and awarded most improved shooter. All State Honorable mention team and All State Junior Team.
JROTC- Vice Corps commander, Operations commander, Drill Team and Color Guard commander. Succesful at drill team and color guard competitions. 3 national awards, Honor graduate and Top Staff Officer at Leadership School, Cadre and Group commander at leadership school, attended American Legion Youth Leadership Conference.
200 Community service hours (estimate).
So, where else should I apply? What would be some good Reaches/Matches/Safties for me, and where would you put UF, Auburn, and UGA at? I like larger schools, somewhat close to a major city, I’d like the school to have major sports teams (football, basketball, etc), and would prefer schools out west or in the New England area. I’ve looked at Montana State, how do I match up there?
Thanks folks
