I’m debating on studying Journalism, International Studies, and/or Sociology in college, but will most likely major in two of them, however, as my second semester of my junior year of high school begins, what are some recommendations you can give me so I can have more chances of getting in to the colleges listed below?

-What would be an ideal SAT score (I’m taking it in March and have been practicing for a long time)?
-Ideal SAT II Scores (I will be taking the Literature, Spanish, and US History Subject Tests in May)?
-My Extracurriculars are great!
-My UW GPA by the end of junior year (if all goes as planned) will be a 3.7492 and W GPA of a 3.9492. Will have taken 4 AP’s (World History, US History, Spanish, Language and Composition).
-I am Latino and a low-income, first generation student; will that help me?
-Graduating from one of the top 600 public high schools.

-Syracuse
-Northwestern
-UC Berkeley
-University of Missouri–Columbia
-NYU
-Georgetown
-Boston University
-University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
-USC
-American
-UCLA

Thank you so much and happy holidays!
