I’m currently a junior. I’m wondering about schools I should look into and perhaps apply to next year. This is not a chance me thread, well not really. I just want to know what schools I have a chance at with my statistics and which “fit” me.

Any Top LACs? Ivy League Schools? even … HBCs (ok not really). How difficult would it be for me to gain admissions? THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!!!

One of my strengths is fund raising.

Last year I fund raised $3,000 for the Sichuan Earthquake. It was really important to me because I am from around that area.
Last year we also fund raised for the Red Cross’ Measles Initiative.
This year we fund raised $2,500 for the National Disaster Relief Fund.
This year $4,000 for northern Ugandan schools.

The American Red Cross has truly impacted my life and given me the leadership and experience to take action. I’m also certified in AED, CPR, Choke Safe, First Aid.
