Will I have a chance for prestigious colleges for a UW 4.0 and W 4.2?

Is CP college prep?

Define “prestigious” because there’s no such thing - well, it’s a descriptor and everyone has a different definition.

Rather than chase a word, why don’t you find the right college for you.

Start with budget - how much do you have to spend a year? $10K, $50K, 90K?

What do you seek - small, mid size, large, urban, rural…a specific geography or weather? What major?

The premise of your question is coming from the wrong angle.

I don’t know what prestigious is - and why does it matter?

My kids both chose safeties (and both got into prestigious as they defined it). You know why? Sure, the prestigious schools were good - but they weren’t what they thought were the best fit. Bonus for dad but not the reason - they were less expensive.

Start with budget and other things - and go from there - and don’t worry about what schools will or won’t do.

You took the right classes for you - and you’ll find the right college for you - whether you deem it prestigious or not. I do know this - prestige is gone the day you walk on campus - being miserable at what you consider a big name is pointless.

Good luck.
