<p>Hi, I’m new here and I thought this site would be a wonderful tool for my college planning this year. I am told that juniors are supposed to pick 2 back-up colleges, 2 target, and 2 reach. But the problem is I have no idea where I can go with my stats. </p>
<p>As for my back-ups, I was thinking Georgia Tech and UGA. One of my targets is Emory but I have no idea where to apply for my remaining 3 choices. </p>
