Right now I am a senior.
I started looking at schools like middle of my junior year. At first I felt REALLY overwhelmed because I didn’t really have any requirements like location or size. I was just looking at schools in my SAT/GPA range.
Then, all the schools started blending together so I narrowed it down to two cities, NYC and Philly. From there, I got NYU, Fordham, Barnard, Temple, and Drexel.
After visiting most of these (and also Villanova) only three are still in the running .. and they’re SUPER expensive ones and also target/reach schools.
So in the past few weeks I’ve decided to branch out and look at other locations. The thing is, I don’t really have a preference for hot/cold or anything so I’m getting schools basically all over the US.
AND NOW I’M RIGHT BACK AT THE BEGINNING! I feel so overwhelmed and there are so many schools and they all seem so much alike.
Me:
-3.67 GPA
-2050 on SATs
-I live in MA
-4 AP classes total and very heavy course load
-acting is my niche but not gunna major in it , but having really done many extracurriculars besides theatre
-not athletic !
What I want in my school:
-in a city
-large-ish
-good academics .. but that’s basically a given considering i’m dishing out 25k+ a year ??
-good nightlife/parties
Schools on my list:
1. McGill – if I got in, I’m definitely going here , but not sure if i can get in
-barnard (reach/target)
-carnegie mellon (reach)
-fordham (safety/target)
-villanova (reach)
-university of pittsburgh (safety)
-syracuse (safety)
-university of wisconsin /madison
-university of michigan
-university of georgia
-lehigh university
-university of texas/austin
-dalhousie
and more are keep being added ??? i don’t even know what to be filtering out. all of them seem very similar. it will be hard to visit now , i don’t have that much money disposable to cart myself around the US looking at schools, and my parents said to hold off on that until after i am admitted. but ahhh this is all too much
where do i go from here

Im a Junior at a High school in Texas of 3000, I run varsity track, JROTC (Unarmed drill, Academic and Leadership team, PT, Orienteering, and Raider team) , Officer in JROTC and in 2 other school clubs, affiliated with 2 other school clubs. 300+ Shadowing and community service hours at our University Hospital, 4.2 weighted GPA, 3.9 unweighted with a bunch of AP classes.
My day is packed, Time management is substantial for me, yet luckily i still have time to think about the future!!
My Ultimate goal is to be a Flight surgeon in the Navy( I love General surgery and trauma, but i also love neonatology Pediatrics). Im fluent in arabic (Im from Morocco, parents were born and raised, But i was born here in the USA). Iv been looking at Universities, and i really have my eyes on the service academies (Because i may consider doing something before i endure medical school. Psychological Operations, Special Warfare, ect). Though im taking everything one step at a time.
College. My number one pick is the University of Colorado at boulder, i like that school i know pritty much everything there is to know about it. NROTC all the way.
My Question is about , Virginia Tech. I like what the website has to say, but I haven’t taking neither the SAT or the ACT. The website sais i need to have like a 1250 on the SAT, Which seems a bit low. Iv noticed that all the websites for colleges have a low standard but always go for the top grades. Whats a good place to be for the SAT and ACT for Virginia tech ?
Any University I attend i would major in anything that has Physiology in it. Integrative Physiology, Exercise physiology, Animal Physiology, Human physiology, at virginia i would do the Human Nutrition Foods and Exercise major. I figure sense i love that and i would enjoy plus it would help me and my path its perfect.
Does anybody have any suggestions,, where is a good place to shoot for when it comes to the SAT or ACT, Any place in particular i should work on?
