<p>Hey everyone,

Real GPA 95.63
Race: Pacific Islander
Top 5% of class.</p>

Here is what my senior schedule looks like:</p>

<p>Well what do you think?</p>
<p>Not everyone is good at standardized tests, and the SAT is deliberately tricky. Have you tried the ACT? Have you considered looking at test optional colleges and universities (find the current list at <a href=“http://www.fairtest.org)?%5B/url%5D”>www.fairtest.org)?</a> Your grades, ECs, and course selections are good.</p>
<p>How much money do you have available for your education?
What do you want to study in college?
What state do you live in?<br>
How far are you willing to travel to college?
What kind of college environment are you looking for (big/small, urban/suburban/rural, north/south/east coast/west coast/midwest)?</p>
<p>Until you know the answers to those questions, there isn’t much advice we can give you.</p>
<p>I have enough money to go to almost any college.
I want to study Bio or premed.
I would like to stay in the northeast.</p>
<p>Safety: Your home public U. If there is more than one in your state, read the catalogues and choose the one that has the biology classes that are the most interesting to you.</p>
<p>Matches: Take a look at the test-optional schools at [The</a> National Center for Fair & Open Testing | FairTest](<a href=“http://www.fairtest.org%5DThe”>http://www.fairtest.org) and pick out a few that are in the northeast. Check their websites and see where your GPA places you.</p>
<p>I agree with happymom…yes, look at the test-optional schools.</p>
<p>Any other decent school out there that are a match for me?</p>
