Demographics: I’m a white female from the a very small town in the state of Maine, I’m currently attending a small highschool.

Classes: All honors, currently taking an EMT certification class, 3 AP classes (APUSH, AP English, AP Government), I will have over 15 college credits by the time I finish highschool.

GPA/SAT: Well my GPA sucks with a weighted GPA of 3.7, oh well nothing I can do about it now. I did pull a 1600 on my SAT’s (perfect score). I really just didn’t care about school as much as I should of before Junior year.

Job’s: I had a job for a year and a half from the beginning of Sophmore to the summer of my Junior year waitressing. That restaurant closed and now I’m working at a different one, I’ll probably work there until I graduate

Volunteering: I have 50 hours at a Mental Health organization, 200 at my local hospital, and various other jobs totaling up to about 75.

Extracurriculars: Speech team (J,S), Drama (J,S), Student Gov (F,S), Prom commitee (J,S), Tennis (J,S), Traditional Kung Fu(F,S,J,S), Woman’s Self Defense class teacher (F,S,J,S), Frshman Football Team (F) yes I did play football until my freshman year in highschool and yes I’m a girl

My list of schools to apply to next year (I’m a junior) include:

Clemson (Top school other than Hamilton)
Syracuse University (very interested, touring in February)
Hamilton College (Major reach i know, but I plan on applying ED)
Boston University
Florida Atlantic University
Colgate
University of Alabama
Fordham
Arizona State

Questions:
Will I get into any of these school since my GPA is so bad?
Should I be looking at any of schools?
Is there anything I can do to up my chances of getting into these schools?
ANY help would be appreciated!!
