Chance me and I'll chance you too

[Caecilius10]

<p>I'm trying to find schools to apply to in the fall and I'm having a hard time coming up with schools that match my stats. I would ideally like to go to a school in the North East (not exclusively New England) and I'm fine with LAC or Research schools. I plan on attending a graduate school and my major will likely be in economics or political science. These are the schools I've thought of so far but as you can see, I really only have 2 matches (Villanova and Trinity).
Here are the universities that I like so far:
Cornell University (Early Decision)
Boston College
Bates College
Bucknell University
Villanova
Trinity College
University of Washington</p>

<p>I want to study Economics. I am a Caucasian male from the west coast (who attends a boarding school) and Cornell is my first choice school. I'm planning on applying Early Decision in the fall. My GPA is low but it has a good trend. It was around a 3.8 freshman year, a 3.6 sophomore year and a 4.0 junior year. As you can tell sophomore was a difficult year for me, it was my first year at boarding school. Junior year I really challenged myself and I took 4 AP/IB classes (my school combines them): AP/IB US History, AP/IB English, IB SL Physics, IB ITGS. In addition I took TOK (Theory of Knowledge) and Chinese 1. I'm taking Chinese 2 over the summer to meet Cornell's language requirement. I know that I can get good recommendations from this year, a lot of my teachers really liked me. My counselor also seems to like me a lot.</p>
