What Universities Should i be applying to?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi Guys
Well, I basically need help deciding what schools I should apply to. In my sophmore year I had severe asthma which caused me to miss 2 days every month. My first semester in my sophmore year was horrible. I had a gpa in the low 2’s and my extra curricular were pretty pathetic. However, i managed to loose a lot of weight which helped me cure my asthma. My second semester was a lot better, i brought my G.P.A to a 3.3 and i joined the school Volleyball team, I ran track, and also did Model United Nations. I moved to the States during my junior year and i got a 3.5 overall gpa. The school I transfered to is one of the top schools in the country and i’ve heard that a 3.5 gpa is pretty good at that school. So my question is where should i apply? I’m planning to become an investment banker. Also in my college applications should i include why my grades were so low, or is that just pointless? My SAT score is a 2000</p>

<p>My GPA Junior year: 3.5</p>

<p>Extra Curricular: J.V Volleyball, Varsity Wrestling, J.V Basketball, Freshman Basketball, Freshman Volleyball, J.V Track, Model United Nations, Muslim Students Association (President), Cricket Club</p>

<p>There are also some awards and stuff that i haven’t included because it will take too long. can you please list some good universities i should be looking at?</p>
