Well guys, it is getting near the end of my junior year, and it is about time that I start getting serious about my college search. This will be kinda like a diary for me, and hopefully you guys can give me some good advice along the way.
I am naturally looking at Alabama and Auburn, but I also wanna try to get into Princeton or Yale or Vanderbilt, though it seems like all but Princeton would not provide enough financial aid, and it only admits 8%. Yikes.
I have something like a 3.7 unweighted GPA. Weighted, it is most likely right at 4.0, and I have a 30 on my ACT, though this is likely to improve, as it has been over a year since I have taken it, and I have been through rigorous prep courses. I am also active in SGA and Relay for Life, am one of the strongest Scholars Bowl Competitors in a 50 mile radius, and hold the highest PSAT scores in my county.
Given all of this, I feel I can be fairly ambitious with my college search, including some high end private schools.
I was wondering if I could here some of your opinions on your Alma Maters. I just do not know a whole lot about some of the colleges out there.
