<p>ahh i was lookin at Boston College and Notre Dame as my reaches, Santa Clara and USD as my safeties, with USC as a sure bet match (double legacy) but i kinda wanna get out of southern california....</p>
<p>my problem (well not problem) is that i just got a 1460 on my SAT (up from my 1260) and am now thinking i should apply to some higher reaches... i am planning on visiting a bunch of schools over the winter, so any one want to throw any names out for me? also, now i can pretty much throw out USD and Santa Clara and get some safties that are a little better, those were kind of my last resort schools.</p>
<p>my stats are now:</p>
<p>4.4 GPA - top 10% in an unranked class of 450
competitive public HS in southern cali
800 math SAT I
660 verbal SAT I
math 2c writing and US History taking in November (cant even guess what they're gonna be- IIC will probably be high, im good at calc and i hear its precalc on the test, but i dont know)
good EC's - lots of church and community service, helped coordinate a walk-a-thon that raised $40 K and wrote an essay on it.
just read my counselors rec- its amazing, and im sure my teacher will be pretty good.</p>
<p>i already sent in my Notre Dame application for EA... just figuring where else i should apply</p>
