I am going to be in senior year this coming fall and since I have about a month till the common app comes out, I wanted to know wether my college list is realistic for my stats. I am pretty sure my GPA is a 97.42, my SAT score from the old test was a 1710. My score from the new test is a 1250 (The new test is scored out of 1600, not 2400). I just got my score back from the ACT and did not do well. I got a 23.
The colleges on my current list are Colorado College, St. Lawrence University, Skidmore college, Tulane University, Kenyon College, American University, UC Santa Barbra, UC berkley, and Vanderbilt University.
I participate in my drama club, am in the National Honors Society, am the treasurer for my art club and am the president for my Human Rights club. Ap classes that I have taken are chem, english language and composition,and stats.This coming year for Ap’s I will be taking english literature, psychology, ab calc, and economics. I have two jobs; working at Dunkin Donuts and, during the school year, I teach at my temple.
I think your standardized test scores are low for many of the schools you have listed. I’d suggest looking at some test optional schools to add to your list.
Are you instate for California?
OOS fees are expensive.
With your current scores, I would say the Berkeley is out of the running, and Santa Barbara might be tough.
I think I our shores are too low for Vanderbilt, too. You should look at test optional schools (Google Fairtest). Not sure what your major is, but Dickinson is a good test optional school.
Your school selections are all over the place ? Why is that ? What do you want to study ?? Our daughter attends SLU. She went ED. She loves it.
