<p>I'm graduating this summer as a junior so I don't have a senior year course load. I plan on volunteering a lot this summer and using my year off to work and volunteer.</p>
<p>NYU is at the top of my list but I know it may be implausible due to its stingy financial aid. I'm also considering UVA, but I don't know what other colleges I should aim for. I plan to major in Public Health and I would prefer a college in a big urban city such as NYC. Suggestions would be much appreciated.. thanks! </p>
