<p>what are some match schools (in new england) for the typical overachiever Cc'er?</p>

<p>here is a brief look at my stats:</p>

<p>sat: 2200 (will retake).
gpa: 4.0
rank: 1st
11 AP's
AMC, UNSCO
300+ volunteer
many leadership positions
major: pre-medicine (eventually a neurosurgeon)</p>

<p>so far, the only match school i have is Johns Hopkins (not in the new england).</p>

<p>plz help me out here. Private Schools only </p>

<p>size, location (urban, rural, etc.), and cost are not factors. however, no LAC's please.</p>

2

<p>cornell,tufts</p>

<p>but its really hard to tell you when you don’t say what you want in a college</p>

3

<p>aren’t cornell and tufts reaches?</p>

<p>also, i’m not asking that you do any research for me, all i ask is that you tell me the schools you know from off the top of your heads. thanx</p>

<p>@jakem333: well, i don’t really have any preference as far as size, location, and other characteristics go. I can adapt to any college i attend.</p>

4

<p>Carnegie Mellon possibly</p>

5

<p>^ that’s Pennsylvana right?..i don’t want to stay instate. (also, PA is midatlantic, not new england)</p>

6

<p>Yes its in Pennsylvania and according to wikipedia:</p>

<p>As defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Northeast region of the United States covers nine states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.</p>

7

<p>^ yeah, sorry about that, superwizard. I meant to put New England, not northeast. </p>

<p>Ps: i have edited my threads to say new england. Again, I apologize.</p>

8

<p>Pre-med isn’t a major.</p>

9

<p>LOL you’llsee its not a big deal! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Boston U is a possibility…</p>

10

<p>tuft’s not a reach</p>

11

<p>If you’re typical, the rest of us are completed screwed…</p>

12

<p>since you’re not giving us anything to work with, heres a few along the level of selectivity for matches/safe matches: brandeis, rochester, boston college, nyu</p>

13

<p>thanx everybody. anyone else have match schools in new england for me?</p>

<p>also…@kyledavid80:: i am aware that pre-med techinically isn’t a major, however, i always call it my major, for the sake of simplicity.</p>

14

<p>Tufts and Cornell are indeed reaches, but reasonable ones – especially given your class rank. Good luck!</p>

15

<p>Why not? Cornell and Tufts sure are possible. BC could be a match. Bowdoin, Amherst and Williams would be solid reaches. Even H and MIT, if you wish. Brandeis could be a safe match. If you’re really into LAC’s, also check out Middlebury, Bates, Colby, Colgate and Hamilton.</p>

16

<p>i need more schools, please.</p>

17

<p>match schools in new england…going once, going twice, sold…</p>

18

<p>i am not bumping this…or am I?</p>

19

<p>I would call BU, Brandeis, Tufts, U Hartford, Boston College all match to safe match. Worchester Polytech, Northeastern, Clark-safety. How about Wesleyan- very competive and reach-high match, but you are qualified.</p>

20

<p>thank you, one mom.</p>

<p>so far, here’s the list of matches i have:</p>

<p>johns hopkins
Brandeis
Tufts
Boston Collge
U Hartford
BU</p>

<p>I only need two more matches, in addition to Johns Hopkins. I look into these schools and see what i like best. Thanx everyone.</p>
