Hello. I am a high school junior.
I live in California.

My GPA: 3.85-3.9

SAT: 1400 expected, maybe above.

SAT2: 700 expected, maybe above.

Although I have never taken the SAT's I am taking a class right now, which hopefully helps.

I go to a good public school, it's one of the top schools in the nation.

I've taken 2AP's and one honors.

Next year I'll take 4AP's and one honors.

Well, what type of school are you looking for? Large, small or medium sized? Geographic location? Public or private? Do you need financial aid or are you hoping for a merit scholarship? etc. etc.

Although I don't yet know the answers to the above questions, some suggestions: Santa Clara U, Kenyon College, Lewis & Clark College, and Johns Hopkins would all let you study international relations and have decent creative writing programs.

Thanks!, I am thinking about both private and UC's. I am looking for a school near the east coast or in california.

I do need financial aid, and scholarships also.

My school conselor told me that my safeties would be
: UCD and UCSD, but I don't want to go to these schools.

Any other suggestions?
