<p>Ok well its not that serious. Ok so basically my question here is that many people tell me i should be trying for higher up colleges than what i already applied to. Yet i dont know how far up the ladder i should be looking. Im interested in Business and law, where can i go thats affordable and still up there.</p>

<p>Heres some stats of me:</p>

<p>GPA= 95% on the 100% scale
Academics= Some APs, going to graduate with my schools highest diploma (advanced regents)
Extracurriculur= A lot of community service, im in the Boy scouts, and have earned my Eagle scout award.
SATs= Not so beautiful, 1510 and im going to take em again this saturday.</p>

<p>Another thing, my eagle scout award, many tell me this is pretty much a lifesaver and can get me into really high places. Is this true? and how far? ( i recently got to meet the CEO of Exxonmobil because of my eagle.) </p>

<p>PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! IM GOING OUT OF MY MIND!!</p>

<p>If it’s 1510 out of 2400, then you’ll need a place that will take into consideration your grades and class rank. Rhodes might be a match given your interests in business and law (several of our students each year major in business and go on to law school). There’s also a strong community service focus here, so if that’s a part of your life you’d like to continue, there are a LOT of opportunities here.</p>

<p>Start by stating hwre you applied and what YOU think you want. What part of the country? What size school? City/suburban/rural? and so on</p>

<p>And no, I do not think an Eagle Scout is worth 200 SAT points–but with your stats, there are good options in all parts of the country</p>

<p>Your Eagle Scout would be a good plus at top selectives, but only if you also had top stats. It won’t “make up” for lowish SAT score. (Congrats on Eagle!! :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>you’re interested in Business and Law! good</p>

<p>now…what’s your financial situation? Can you pay full-freight? How much have your parents said they can pay? if you’ll need FA, what is their EFC or their income?</p>

<p>What is your home state? </p>

<p>What kind of school interests you? Big school with big team sports to watch? Quiet school? </p>

<p>From this info, we’ll be able to make some sound suggestions!</p>

<p>A lot of places don’t even require SAT’s. Bates comes to mind.</p>
