<p>Hi, I'm trying to find some safety, match, and reach schools i might apply to. 3.9 unw/4.45 weight gpa
1420 sat-math 780 cr- 640
All classes i have taken are honors or AP</p>
<p>College Prefs:<br>
large school, but will consider medium sized schools.
Public/Private doesnt matter
Southeast
Good Sports program</p>
<p>I live in Florida and already know i will be applying to UF...im a huge gator fan so dont even mention FSU.. Thanks</p>
<p>Any particular major in mind?</p>
<p>Wofford College in South Carolina. Very competitive D-1 sports. Bigger than many liberal arts colleges. Very good academics. Consider its rival Furman University too.</p>
<p>For a larger place that is up and coming, consider U of Alabama-Birmingham. D-1 football and everything else. Great undergraduate life sciences departments. New construction on campus everywhere, including an award-winning new student recreation/fitness center. Not to be confused with the Tuscaloosa campus. UAB is an autonomous unit of the State University System of Alabama.</p>
<p>i plan to major in some sort of engineering, maybe biomedical...and then possibly attend medical school</p>
<p>Georgia Tech</p>
<p>Almost any ACC school in the Southeast would seem to be a good place for you (FSU excepted I guess, and Miami). Don't take this as gospel, I'm not real good at this, but I'd say UVA, Duke, UNC, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech might be Stretches/High Matches, while Maryland and Clemson might be matches and you would probably be successful getting in to Va Tech or NC State. I don't know how you feel about other SEC schools, but Georgia is also an up-and-coming place.</p>
<p>PS- why not just go to Florida?</p>
<p>Ooop- nix UNC then, (no engineering), and I'm not sure about Wake Forest. All others I mentioned have excellent engineering programs.</p>
<p>I am applying to Florida and am about 90% sure I would go there if i was accepted...i just need other schools to apply to, and I want to know if I could get into more academically prestigious schools such as UVA and Duke.</p>
<p>vanderbilt?</p>
<p>tulane maybe?</p>
<p>I like the thought of Vanderbilt....it would definitly be a stretch</p>
<p>its not that much of a stretch...you seem to have very good stats.
What is your SAT score out of 2400?</p>
<p>Some suggestions... all schools listed below have DI sports, so should have decent sports programs.</p>
<p>REACH: Duke University (NC), Rice University (TX)</p>
<p>SEMI-REACH: Vanderbilt University (TN)</p>
<p>GOOD FIT: College of William & Mary (VA), Tulane University (LA), University of North Carlolina-Chapel Hill (NC), University of Virginia (VA), Wake Forest University (NC)</p>
<p>LIKELY: Auburn University (AL), Baylor University (TX), Clemson University (SC), Elon University (NC), Furman University (SC), Georgia Institute of Technology (GA), University of Alabama (AL), University of Georgia (GA), University of Miami (FL), University of Richmond (VA), University of Texas-Austin (TX), Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VA)</p>
<p>Texas OOS and GaTech OOS are more difficult to get into than Tulane.</p>
<p>2020/2400...took the June Sat so hopefully it will go up</p>
<p>Ga. Tech has incredible engineering programs, but previous posters are correct about instate/OOS. Your stats though would serve you well at Tech. I don't believe Wake has an engineering program, but Duke's is excellent. Both schools are very competitive with their choice of candidates. Actually,Clemson's engineering program is reasonably well thought of ( I can say that even though my husband is a Tech ME undergrad). Auburn's architecture program is nationally known, not sure of other science departments though. Good luck in your search.</p>
<p>UF is your best choice, but you should definitely consider Vandy, UVA, Tulane, and UNC Chapel Hill. I don't believe Furman has engineering; it requires you to finish your degree at Georgia Tech or a similar school.</p>
<p>UNC-Chapel Hill does not have engineering.</p>
<p>Try Va. Tech, Clemson, NC State</p>
<p>Littleatheist, I disagree with your opinion regarding the public universities you described as "likely" for the poster. Specifically, admission at Georgia Tech, U of Georgia, U of Texas-Austin and Virginia Tech is quite competitive and dominated by state residents, as Loslobos suggests (#15).</p>
