<p>Thing is, I'm not sure where to even consider with my stats. I know I'll be applying to OSU, JHU, and Case, but where else should I try?</p>
<p>Yeah, I know I could aim higher. But I don't know where to aim =P. That's the problem. My parents make a decent amount of money which means that we won't get anything from fafsa, but with 4 kids and my mom getting her PhD, we don't have too much money to spend on my college. Well, we do, but I'd feel pretty guilty, because I know they would pay.</p>
<p>Your stats give you a shot at most any school in the country. The bigger question is what you are looking for, in terms of environment - big, small, city, country, preppy, crunchy, etc. While you've given us tons of stat info, your inquiry is too broad w/o knowing what type of school you would prefer.</p>
<p>I guess what I'm looking for is a decently cheap school, with an academically challenging curriculum. I don't care if it's urban, rural, etc. I see all of them as a fun time. I wouldn't like preppy all too much. I'm one of those people who are smart but like to have fun too, party and all that.</p>
<p>I want to go some place relatively close to Ohio (at least being able to take a less than 3 hour flight home). I may, however, apply to a west coast school if it catches my eye.</p>
