Based on these stats do you think these schools on my college list are too much of a reach?
I’m a high school junior, incoming senior, and I feel like I have not done enough. I go to a complete school as well with rigorous academics so I am constantly around people who sre going above and beyond and I sometimes tend to compare myself to them. I’m a pretty average student, but in my opinion, I think I have some good extracurriculars. down below I have a list of my stats and the my college list, please just let me know if I’m being unrealistic with my college list. the star means that these are postions or classes that i will be taking in senior year

Honestly? I'm no expert but this is really impressive. I think you'll have good chances, and any school you go to will be benefited by your presence. You seem really well rounded
okay, i think ur profile is great! also, if you actually want to go to these schools, you should one billion percent apply. even if only one says yes, that’s still a yes! i’m sure somebody’s given you a snobby look and been like “oH wElL uR nOt SmArT eNoUgH” like ughhh. definitely make sure you have a safety or two, but besides that, apply your heart out. GOOD LUCKKKK
You do have good ECs that balance out your academics, I believe that your GPA will rise by app time, I know you are taking the ACT in the summer, but Have you considered retaking the SAT? Depending on what you get on the Act it might not matter. But I suggest if it's not up to par if you have time. But honestly, this looks like some good reach, target, and safety schools. (Hampton is definitely a safety school for everybody trust me it's in my state lol) Good luck !

Hi, so my PSAT score consistently has been the same since freshman year so I wasn’t surprised as to what I got on the SAT. and I have been using a GPA calculator and my GPA should be a 3.7 or 3.75 by the time I apply for schools next year, but I’m just so anxious. if you don’t mind, could you label what school you think are reaches targets and safeties? I have my own list work categorize them, but I don’t know if I’m a reliable source. I just want to see somebody else’s point of view, thanks!
