Acceptance into a good college?


I know I won't make it into an Ivy League school with my bad grades (not that it wasn't a dream to begin with) and with the fact that I want to go to a college I like, not just a college my parents like. I want to know what are some other good colleges that I might have a chance at?

I am currently undecided as a major but I do major in something International-related so probably International Business (any other degree options?)
I'm currently a junior in a pretty competitive public high school

GPA: Freshman- 3.614
Sophomore- 3.7, 1st semester
(I think my junior- 1st semester is going to be around 3.8-3.9, so you can say it's improving)
PSAT: 166 (I'm improving /taking SAT in Jan)

Classes: Currently, 3 honors and 3 AP and one regular-Orch
Activities (I don't have THAT much)
9th: Crimestoppers, L.A.S.E.R, Pops Orch, Spanish
10th: L.A.S.E.R, NHS
11th: LA.S.E.R, NHS, Key, Spanish, Photo
Awards: Violin, Photography, Volunteering

(I will add more)

Officer Positions: Class reporter for Orch, Photographer for Spanish Club, Co-Secretary for Photo Club

Volunteering (I loved volunteering): Teen Court Atttorney, Past Homework Center Tutor, Chinese 2 H Tutor @ School, Special Needs/Therapeutic Services Volunteer, Southern Star Office-Aid, Various one-time NHS events/ Special Needs events

To gary...
I haven't posted Ivy League schools.
The schools that are listed here are called PUBLIC Ivy.. These are public universities that are equal in academics and opportunities to ivy league schools. Some of them are easier to get into. You've listed some your self! gary. These are excellent schools, with good reputations, and any student would have the opportunity to get a good education at one of these schools.
MIT and Duke are not in the Ivy League

Since you're not going Ivy League, the options are endless. What you need to ask yourself is, what learning environment YOU believe is best for YOU. Mega University with huge lectures or that small college with more individual attention? Some place close or "get out of town!" You get my drift?
Where do you live? Many colleges heavily recruit outside regions to allow diversity. Look at colleges who emphasize music/photography. Consider overseas (the Caribbean in winter?)!
A degree from a acclaimed University is impressive BUT it's the degree, from where ever, that gets you in the door. You may have the Ivy League recruiting you for grad school!
