Where to get into.
I'm an african american junior in high school. Over the past two years my unweighted GPA is 3.5, weighted 3.75. I'm taking an AP class this year, I've done 3 extra curriculars all three years and I plan to keep them through senior year too. I'm in a community service club- habitat for humanitys, and I'm in the process of geting inducted into the National Honors Society, and I'm in this dance society called Nu Delta Alpha. I've been the captain of my cheerleading squad, and I've made my college list * from best colleges to worst.
U Penn, Columbia, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, UVA, University of north carolina chapel hill, wake forest, college of william and mary, rochester u, George Washington u, university of deleware, drexel, and SUNY stony brook. Where do you think I could get into? You can tell me how you or a friend got into one of these colleges as your basis, anything helps! Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Those are definitely great schools and I encourage you to keep your hopes and ambitions high and keep working!
Unfortunately, I would like to warn you, I graduated from high school with a 4.4 and a 2130 on my SATS and had 2 pages of community service and extra curricular activities and I did not get into UVA, UNC or william and mary of the schools that you are looking at.
But of course i hope that you certainly apply to all of these schools, because the one thing i learned throughout the application process was that anything can happen and there are no guarantees. Because according to each of those schools number standards it was guaranteed acceptance for me, but it could depend on the people on the admissions board or many other factors. So hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones that gets what they deserve.
But please apply to a few fall back schools that you would be happy attending. I hope you dont have to end up attending any of your fallback choices, but you would rather have the option if it came down to it.
Keep your grades up, and take on a few more AP classes! Good luck!

Check www.collegeboard.com and create a college list of all your top choices. From there, you'll have at your fingertips all the information you need: admission requirements, deadlines, tuition fees, financial aid.
One of the most important factors, unfortunately, is how well you score on the SAT or ACT exam(s). CollegeBoard also has the ranges of accepted scores (higher is better, obviously, haha)
I could GUESS which colleges you'd get into, but it'd be just that, a guess. However, with that high of a GPA, you could easily get into most state universities assuming that you half-ass the SATs and have a pulse when you apply ;] And with the private universities, it could go either way, as they heavily weigh SAT scores, essays, and interviews, none of which have happened yet.
Best of luck to you :]
