It is not possible to give you appropriate recommendations for other schools, since you have given no indication about your interests, preferences, or planned areas of study.

Answer 2

All of the universities you mentioned are high quality schools, yet you should be focusing on the universities's programs. For example, NYU has the top film making program in the country, but in other areas such as science they don't rank as high as the others. Same holds true for business, NYU ranks high but not as high as Harvard. Out of the schools you listed, you should with your grades and activities be able to get accepted to all of them, except for Cornell, Harvard, Stanford, and Yale.

Answer 3

I am not a college counselor or a college admissions officer, but many undergraduate schools are looking for a diverse, well-rounded student body to flesh out their predominantly in-state demographics. Living in Florida should not be a big determiner in your acceptance, and for the smaller schools, it may even help. The freshman and sophomore year GPAs could be cause for concern if left unaddressed. In writing your application essay try to paint a picture of how your mother's car accident was a difficult and challenging time for you, but by your junior year you had gotten yourself back on track and achieved a 4.0. Good luck with your applications.

Answer 4

Going to an elitist university is fun, but depending on what you want to study, and how you wanna live, it may not be right. If you dont get accepted to those, don't be afraid to try different kinds of colleges. Also Notre Dame isn't that enjoyable, and has fairly boring courses.

Answer 5

I suggest you apply to all of them (one of my friends actually applied to 24 colleges!!!!) but here are your chances anyways:

1. Good Chance
2. Good Chance
3. OK Chance
4. OK Chance
5. Good Chance
6. Not Good Chance
7. Not sure...
8. Not Good Chance
9. Not Good Chance
10. Not sure...
11. Good Chance
12. Great Chance
13. Greater Chance
14. Not sure...
15. Not sure...

Answer 6

Looking at your credentials, you appear very competitive. I am no admissions official, but I would say you can enter any of those schools if you so desire. Many of them will not just look at the numbers, however. Consider yourself and your purpose when applying.

Answer 7

Go to University of Texas. but what you have right now is really good so you choose wherever you want to go

Answer 8

Um, the SAT only goes to 1600...... Why would you make up scores? If any of the rest of it is true, you can get into any of those schools---but god sakes dont go to Berzerkly. Bunch of standoffish psuedo-hippies and trustifarians.
