What does you guidance counsellor say?
More Info Please
I doubt that any of these colleges are out of contention, but more importantly, what do you want to study? For example, you list Virginia Tech, but that is an engineering and science school and doesn't match the rest of your list.
Overall, you look like you have a good, well rounded course of study in high school that wouldn't preclude you from any school.
school selection
to be honest i want to study and major in business, this is kind of wierd becasue my math is the worst part of my academic, really only becasue its my only level 2 class. i also would like to possibly major in phycology or history. does anyone have any schools that they think i could get into?
You're fine for business
I think you are overly pessimestic about your math scores. A business major with trig and statistics under his belt is way ahead of the game. It might help to have a programing course in there somewhere, but as long as you're familiar with how to nagivate around a computer, you can learn the rest once you are there. Choose schools that are well known for what you want to study and recognize that algebra 1 and a calculator will cover almost all the situations that you will run into unless you are in a science or engineering field.
ASU has an excellent business program. Not sure if you could get in but its worth a shot.

Or economics. I have a friend who is planning on grad school economics study, and she wails that she is woefully lacking in math...
Engineer is right, start with what you want to study and find a college with a good program in that discipline.
What do you want to learn? Studies are so much easier if it's something you want to know!
id really like to go to Bryant college do you guys think i could get in there
Boston University is a private school. If you aren't stupid, and you can afford to go there, they will be more than happy to give you an audition. I made it through four years, it wasn't easy, but being a private university, it gave me a little more leverage over idiot professors than I could ever have had at a public one. And there are idiot professors no matter where you go.
