<p>Ok, I'm going to be typing this on the fly, so excuse me if my structure is a little thrown off...</p>

<pre><code> First of all, I am a 17 year-old in Georgia with an older brother who is a junior in Princeton and an older sister who is a freshman in Georgetown (so, I'm under a little bit of pressure). I've decided for sure that I want to remain on the East coast during my 4 years of college, and would prefer to attend a school with an enrollment around 5,000-10,000. I have already used the Counselor-o-Matic several times, but thought getting some human input, and possibly student input would be a good addition. Money should not be a problem, so that is not really a factor in my decision as of now. I'd prefer to stay north of Georgia but south of Maryland, as I hate the cold. To me, anything from the campus beauty, to food quality, to college town, to dorm size is extremely important. 

 As for my academics, I have been a 4.0 every year of my life, and have always taken the some of the hardest course loads possible.  By the time I graduate, I should have at least 5 APs under my belt, as well as several honors classes.  I am currently in the top 10% of my class, and am expecting an SAT score of around 1360-1410.  

 For my extracurriculars, I have won several awards (some more significant than others) and participated in clubs and sports.  More specifically, I played soccer and basketball freshman and sophomore year for the JV team, while playing club soccer and basketball on the side.  I am also a member of the FBLA and other smaller clubs.  I've also recently picked up a part-time job at Eckerd because my basketball season just ended.  

Alright, well, I hope that was not too long.  Thank you for reading and thanks in advance for any advice you have for me!

<p>I would suggest Vanderbilt, Tulane, and George Washington as matches. Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, Emory, Georgetown should be good reaches. I would reccomend doing Early Decision to the one you like the most.</p>

<p>Tufts is close to Boston, medium sized (5000 people), good food and excellent college town. Our food is delicious too :) Tufts is good IF you are willing to risk a little cold for hard core academics and a great atmosphere. Actually I'm from CA and I don't find the cold too bad, since I somehow adapted to it within a few weeks of november. 10 degrees feels like nothing now.</p>

<p>If I could go anywhere it would probably be Tufts. I was just trying to fulfill his weather requirement.</p>

<p>Well aren't you just fabulous dude? Joking. Sounds like you've got a chance at the top colleges.</p>

<p>Yeah i agree, tulane, vanderbilt, gw...davidson and U of south would be good as well, but they're a bit smaller than 5,000...I'm looking at the same schools, if you'd like to see my stats and such. Hope to see you there haha</p>
