Hi there! I’m a rising senior at a small private high school in Eastern Maryland. With applications approaching, I’m still floundering on schools that I am interested in, because I’m still really figuring out what I what. Here are my Stats:
SAT- 2170 superscored, 730 math and writing, 710 english
GPA: 3.85 ish
school doesn’t rank but top 10-15 is percent?
SAT2’s- 620 math2, 580 bio but retaking both and STUDYING!
I’ve played two varsity sports throughout entire high school career, volunteered at local hospital for 50 hours for 2 summers, head lifeguard at local pool after 3 years, played piano for 11 years and preformed at small venues locally, and edit the school newspaper.
When people ask me what I want to do, I say biomedical engineering. But this isn’t definite, I’m just thinking that I could have that 4 year degree or continue on to med school. Biology, Engineering, and Finance/economics stuff all sparks my interest, especially because enjoy math.
I’m looking for a medium sized school(just not huge or tiny … anything in between) in the Northeast, like PA, NY, MA especially… kinda Delaware and NJ… . I want a school thats outside of a new england city really… My current list includes University of Delaware (I’m in state), Villanova(really liked), John Hopkins (as my reach, I know I know) Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute(possibly, liked the school but Troy NY is pretty isolated and kids were pretty techy)
I’m not really a partier, not into gaming or anything extreme. My parents are prepared to pay some, but like Villanova for example I loved but don’t like the idea of being among snobby overprivileged peers… They swing between wanting me to apply to expensive Ivies and then the next day saying small no name schools to save money for grad school.
As you can probably tell, I’m a little confused and just want to end up somewhere that I can grow into a successful and happy adult. Any college recommendations would be hugely appreciated!!
If I can clear up anything let me know, this post is definitely a ramble! Thanks!
