I retook the ACT after getting a 26 and just found out that I got a 29. This put some of my match schools more toward the safetie range, so I was wondering if you could give some ideas on some good match schools with my stats.

I’d like to go somewhere in the midwest and major in advertising or marketing. Here’s my list as it is now.

Big reach: Notre Dame
slight Reach: Illinois (Liberal Arts and Sciences)
Matches: Marquette, Indiana
safetie: Illinois State, Iowa

GPA: Wieghted= 3.71, unweighted= 3.6
ACT: 29
rank: 229/768 top 29% at one of the better public high schools in Illinois

EC’s:

Marching Band-Tuba; We meet after school everyday
from 3:30 to 5:00. And it starts in august and goes until
the end of October, depending how well the football
team does.

Jazz- Trumpet

concert band- Tuba; I’m in the school’s top group if that
helps at all.

Church group. It’s kind of the think tank for the youth
ministry program. We discuss service projects and think
of ways to make it more enjoyable for the kids in the
program.

Apologetics (church group)

Retreat Leader- starting february and going until August,
we a take one weekend a month where we spend one
night and two days in a hotel with sophomores helping
them get ready for confirmation. My job is to help get set
up and lead a group.

Summer baseball

Awards and Leadership:
Invited to Boys State, a selective American Legion
summer program where you learn about state
government.

Attended two Youth Leadership Conferences at Lewis
University.

Distinguished honor roll this past semester; high honor
roll all others.

Invitied by my band directors to audition for All-District
music.

Any Suggestions would be appreciated.
