I just finished Junior Year and well, basically I slacked off my past 3 years of high school, but NOW I decided last minute that I really wanted to get into a good college (top 30). I’m really considering applying to a school ED but I’m not quite sure which school is a good match.

My stats:

Rank: My guess is about 20th percentile out of 650.
School: Very competitive in big city in CA

GPA: 3.3-3.4/4.0 UW
4.0W

As you can see, grades from high school are my weakness for my college app.

Yet, I like to overachieve and I take millions of courses in several community colleges.

By the end of the summer, I will have completed 7 college courses all with A’s.

That boosted my UC GPA to a 4.37W and 3.69UW.

My GPA including 7th semester and including the 4 courses I will be taking in Fall 08 is around a 4.45.

My courses:
Freshmen year: Biology, Mod World, Adv Alg H, Chinese, English
Sophomore year: Chemistry H, AP Euro, Geo H, Chinese, English, Ceramics
Junior year: AP Chem, US Hon, Pre Cal H, Chinese H, English, AP Music
Senior year: APES, AP Govt, AP Econ, English

College courses:
Junior year (Fall, Spring and Summer): Psyc, Eng 1a, Am Sign Lang 1a, Cult Anthropology, Graphic Design, Sociology, Stats
Senior year (Fall): Eng 1b, Am Sign Lang 1b, Bio, Phys Anthropology

AP Tests:
Soph year: AP Euro 4
Junior year: AP Chem, AP Music, AP Human Geo (self studied), AP Calc BC (self studied)

ECs:
Student govt (11+12), Key club PR (10-12), CSF (11+12), piano, and others probably

SATs:
CR:700 M:800 W:750 Overall:1500/ 2250
Math 2c: 800 Chemistry:720

Hook: I graphic design for 21+ night club promotion companies since 8th grade. Since then, I’ve opened a marketing company with my older sister (since she’s over 18). I will make flyers for political promotion for the upcoming elections and design restaurant menus. I will probably send my portfolio.
I will also participate in a regional beauty pageant in December.

What I look for in a school:
Location: SoCal or East Coast (Mid Atlantic or New England).
I don’t really care if a school is located in a big city or a small suburb, so long as it’s not too rural.

Demographics: At least 15% Asian

I’d prefer the school to have the Greek system.

I want to major in Business Econ/Econ.
