adding schools last minute..

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Schools already applied to:
American, GWU, Georgetown, USC, Northeastern (deferred), Miami (FL), McGill</p>

<p>I'm looking for schools in an urban environment with strong programs in Arabic and IR. Athletics are also important to be so I want to be in a school where the students care about being fit and participate in physical activities. </p>

<p>I realize that it's already late December, but I would like to add more schools. I have two safety schools where I've already been accepted, but I honestly would be extremely unhappy if I ended up having to attend. Right now I'm thinking about adding Occidental, Pitzer, and Richmond. Do these schools match my interests? Any other suggestions will be appreciated.</p>

<p>basic stats:
3.1 UW (yea i know..)
29 ACT (32 R, 32 E, 26 M, 25 S)
excellent recs and ECs, pretty good essays</p>

<p>Occidental is supposed to be good for IR. Maybe look at Macalaster too. For Arabic you will really have to check how much depth schools have in that department.</p>

3

<p>They match your interests but not your GPA.</p>

4

<p>I probably shouldve included more information about my GPA…it is about a 3.8 W at an independent day school</p>

<p>Are you in Calif?</p>

<p>What are your safety schools? </p>

<p>Since you go to a private school, should we assume that money is not a concern?</p>

<p>Did you take the SAT?</p>

6

<p>That’s good rigor in your classes but still a 3.1UW.</p>

7

<p>You have a shot at American. You should check out Syracuse and Boston University.</p>

<p>mom2collegekids, I don’t live in California, though I’d really like to go to college there. I do go to private school but money is definitely a concern. I took the SAT but my ACT scores are much better.</p>

<p>ricegal, I’ve looked at Syracuse but I really want to be in a bigger city. I know its likely I’ll get into American but the neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired in comparison to living in Georgetown or Foggy Bottom…</p>
