<p>Here is my current list of schools. I am looking for suggestions as I am considering dropping 1 or 2 and adding a true safety school or 2... both for acceptance and affordability.</p>
<p>It would be a bonus if I can find a school that superscores the ACT ... that would mean my composite would go up to 30.</p>
<p>U of South Carolina - applied EA *safety
Penn State - applied priority</p>
<p>Rutgers * I believe this is a safety
Pittsburgh applying to these by Nov1 - apps just being proofread now
Clemson
Maryland</p>
<p>Delaware
Virginia Tech all on the horizon for Jan 1
Boston U</p>
<p>Looking for your suggestions :) Thanks!</p>
<p>post your unweighted GPA. weighted means nothing.</p>
<p>What state are you in? How much will your parents pay?</p>
<p>unweighted = 3.69</p>
<p>our school reports weighted but will report both if requested to do so.</p>
<p>NJ is my home state and no more that $40,000 … and thats kinda pushing it.</p>
<p>Also may be helpful to know rigor of schedule = 9 honors/AP, 4 yrs math, 4 yrs science</p>
<p>APUSH = 4
taking 2 now: AP Bio and Psych</p>
<p>Have you looked at the Jesuit schools? Loyola (Baltimore) Providence, Fairfield? Also JMU and Mary Washington in Virginia are both beautiful schools.</p>
<p>what are you planning to major in?</p>
<p>You should definitely keep Clemson on your list. I’m a student there so let me know if you have any questions!</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions …</p>
<p>Looked at Loyola, and it’s very pricey plus too small. Would prefer a big school atmosphere.</p>
<p>Not sure what my major will be … kind of tossing around Psychology/Cognitive Science, Marketing, Accounting or Graphic Design … quite a variety, huh?!</p>
<p>Pierre - I will most llikely have questions 
Submitted my app last night !</p>
<p>Why don’t you look at some schools that don’t require the ACT or SAT like Connecticut College, Bowdoin, Franklin and Marshall, etc.</p>
