<p>These are my credentials:
Class Ranking: 70 out of 467
Cumulative GPA: 3.2069
Academic Core GPA: 3.4792
Weighted Cumul. GPA: 4.1034</p>
<p>I am a sophomore going to be Junior and my GPAs and class rank should go up when my report card comes out. </p>
<p>Do you have any schools in mind?</p>
<p>-edit, never mind, it got moved-
2, You didn’t list any SAT/ACT scores, which since you’re going to be a junior I suppose you haven’t taken yet, but without them it’s near imposable to tell you. But a PSAT would be nice
3, You didn’t give us a program of study you’re interested in
4, your unweighted cumulative is pretty low.
5, do you have any extracurriculars</p>
<p>I’d say if you look at the US news rankings, colleges ranked between 30 and 110 should be a good range (from reaches to safeties). Of course, once you have an SAT or ACT score as well, you could narrow the list down.
I’d suggest going through those schools and eliminating the ones you know you would not like to attend and also eliminate ones that don’t match your preferences (setting, cost, location, Greek life, social life, etc.). That should leave you with about 30 schools, then you can really look into those to get your list down to about 10.
But it will be easier once you have the SAT or ACT score. Also, the ones closer to 30 will be more holistic in viewing your application.
So, generally, I would suggest looking between 30 and 110 on US news. Of course, don’t let this response restrict your decision making an apply to the colleges that you find are the best fit for you, as well as most academically compatible.</p>
