basketball math for kids
What kind of colleges can I get into with a 4.3 (weighted), 3.8 (unweighted) GPA?

I’m also a sophomore and have lettered in 3 varsity sports (soccer, basketball, and tennis). II was selected as an ambassador for HOBY. I am in the Math League, Heroes and Cool Kids, and Student Council organizations at my school have been an altar server at my church for about eight years and involved in the church’s youth group.

What colleges do you think are fit or even reachable for me?
Please Answer!

It’s hard to say without an ACT/SAT score to go by.
