<p>Hey guys, I'm currently in thehunt for colleges. I live in central Massachusetts and I love it here, but I want to go a ittle bit further away for college (1 hr.-5hrs away due to my medical condition). I would like to major in either poly-sci, business, or journalism/english. Most people would consider me "conservative" and outgoing, but those who truly know me know that I am open minded and non-judgemental. So big pluses for me include older, historical campuses, liberal arts collegs, and ones that are strongly associated with politics in some ways. Here are my stats:
Should I send SATs or no and what are my chances </p>

<p>Thanks a lot. Hobart looks like a great school and I've also checked out Marist. Hobarts also a test optional school now and I can't wait to cehck it out in february.</p>
<p>I would go for both of them. Providence may be a slight reach but I think you have excellent chances. I know of someone who recently graduated from Providence and loved it.</p>
<p>Ya, they both sound great. Saint Anselm is extremely political active and has the New Hampshire Institute of Politics and Providence College has a great rep. and is in a great city. I've heard nothing but good things from both these schools.</p>
<p>I want to put in a plug for Saint Anselm's. It's a really caring, nurturing school, located in a fairly large city not too far from Boston and the school and students are extremely interested in politics. Sounds like a good fit for you.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, definetly like Saint Anselms. I went their recently and really enjoyed that atmosphere. Manchester is also a city on the rise, but the college is in a much more suburban part of the. I really like th admission people I met and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics was incredible. Its definetly high on the list. I hear Saint Michael's is a lot alike as well and I'll visit there in February.</p>
<p>Does anybody have any ideas for safeties or a couple of more reaches? I love Holy Cross, but with my stats, it would difficuly to get in. I'm not really looking for a colleges in Boston, but I am sill looking in NE and NY. I think my list may be complete,, but more ideas are always welcomed.</p>
<p>Definetly, it was actually on my list. Definetly reachy, but i still have a shot. Beautiful campus and good sized school. It also has a law school which is a field I may enter after i graduate. Thanks for the suggestion, its worth the shot.</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about St. Michaels? I've generally heard good things about the school, except that the weather their is freezing. I hear Burlington's a really great college town and I hear that Saint Michael's has aa great academic reputation. Is it a lot like Saint Anselm's because it sounds like they have a lot in common?</p>
<p>A friend of mine was telling me about a month ago that one her daughter's friends attends St Michaels and is very happy there. Apparently there is A LOT to do in Burlington. I know there are some kids applying there from my son's school. It has an excellent reputation. Sorry, I don't know too much about St. Anselms.</p>
<p>Thanks, a lot Poi, I've heard a lot of the sames, especially about Burlington. I hope to do a big tour of these in February and I am going to DC in April, so I may hit up a couple of Pennsylvania schools on the way (Saint Joseph's, Mulenberg?) but I'm still unsure if there too far away and I know little about them in genral. I still got time, as I'm a junior, but I'm still work on a shorter list of 7-8.</p>
<p>Check out the other Catholic school in Worcester, Assumption. Newer Jesuit colleges within your desired geographic range: U. of Scranton, Fairfield and Le Moyne. Also check out newcomer Thomas More College of Liberal Arts.</p>
<p>Yeah, Assumption is a very good school, but its in my backyard, literally. Actually most of my neighborhood went to school there. Fairfield's definetly high on the list and its got a really solid business school. LeMoyne is another one I haven't checked out yet, but maybe on the way to Hobart. Scranton might be a little bit far away, but its considered a hidden gem, so it might constitute a trip as well. I've never really heard about Thomas Moore until recently, but I heard that it has an aviation program. Never,wanted to be a pilot but that sounds interesting none the less. Thanks a lot exploring options, I will definetly do some research on LeMoyne and Scranton.</p>
<p>Anyone know anything about Muhlenberg in Pennsylvania? Looks nice and looks like it has storng academics, but it could also be a reach. Anyone whose knows some info. please reply. Yhanks again</p>
<p>Muhlenberg is a Lutheran college like the mentioned Wagner College. Susquehanna is another well known Lutheran school in PA but there are no Lutheran schools in New England. Lutheran</a> Educational Conference of North America Thomas More College of Liberal Arts does not offer aviation. It is grounded in the liberal arts as it's name implies and the only areas of concentration are: Literature, Philosophy and Political Science. Thomas</a> More College - Home Page Welcome Message</p>
