I am an average student, with a 3.2 GPA, I'm a junior at a prep school in New England. I have a lot of extracurricular activities including over 70 hours of community service, 2 musicals, summer courses, choir for 3 years (going to take it again next year) and will be part of a 21st century leadership initiative program at my school next semester and all senior year. I'm looking to go to a good college. Would I have a chance at getting into any of the following schools: NYU, Colombia, BC, Skidmore, Colgate, or Tufts?

Thanks for the help guys!!

Hello Highschoolhopeful

I've worked for colleges as an advisor for a number of years. You are taking some of the steps you need to be accepted, however, each college has different qualifications or exceptions that they'll make, say for example your GPA being lower than what they'd like. The best way to find out if these will accept you would be to look on the respective college web site or speak to an Admissions Advisor. These are the best places to find the criteria for being accepted to the colleges you are interested in.
An Admissions Advisor is there to help you get into college, I'd make a list of your questions and see what else you may need to do in your last year of high school to be considered for their college.

Wishing you all the best,

Sophie

oh I forgot, I also have a summer job / internship at one of the best Architectural Design companies in the united states, it's called Barnes Coy Architects.
