Question: I got a 1970 on my SAT and have a 3.7 unweighted GPA. my only addendum curricular activities are varsity lacrosse, medical youth fellowship, national honor society, national honor friendship and volunteering at the hospital. i'm not even sure you can count those clubs as "activities". i truly need help with the range of colleges i should apply
Answer: Your SAT scores are a not any low for the elite schools -- but you have a nice GPA and are close. I about your list is on target (though UVA is a reach if you are not a resident).
You may want to add some of the heartier liberal arts colleges (e.g., Swarthmore, Williams, Haverford) or superior regional universities (e.g., Villanova).
