<p>I want to go to a college that's around the coast areas and close to the beach. I love this type of environment and I believe you should take that into consideration while applying for a college.</p>
<p>Here's what I have narrowed it down so far, only considering 4 year colleges with undergraduate degrees and have a clinical psychology degree in their graduate area.
I'm very particular on what I want. (:</p>
<p>University of Maine, Orono
University of New England
Connecticut College
University of Hartford
University of Washington, Seattle
Boston University
Brandeis University
Bridgewater State University</p>
<p>That's my list that has everything I want at the school but I still have a lot of research to do on each of them. I really like the University of Maine and Boston University as my top two.</p>
<p>Are these colleges worth attending and and have a good education standing, as well as my chances of getting into each?</p>
<p>I graduated high school in June 2009 with a GPA of 3.2-3.3 thereabouts.
My SAT scores were as follows;
Critical Reading 490
Math 380
Writing 380
Multiple Choice 38
Essay 06</p>
<p>I plan on taking my SAT again to see if I can get better scores and studying a lot.</p>
<p>Both me and my boyfriend are applying to these colleges and were hoping at least one of them will accept both of us.</p>
<p>Connecticut College is an amazing school despite that it lacks academic rep. the students there are generally very smart and friendly, the faculty are top-notched, and the campus is breathtaking. Sadly, your stats aren’t good enough this school and/or any school of such caliber.</p>
<p>OP, there are many students out there who scored higher than your composite on just the CR/M portion…I’m not putting you down, I’m just showing you reality. NO 4-year institution that I am aware of will accept a student with a 1250 on all 3-sections, you’ll need AT LEAST a 1600 to have a solid shot.</p>
<p>With that being said, your GPA is alright but you didn’t list your ECs, which are pretty important. How many AP classes did you take? What’s your class rank? These are very important questions you need to answer in order to better gauge your “chances”.</p>
<p>So would I be better off attending a community college then? I’d really still like to attend one in Maine that way if I ever transfer over once I have a better GPA or to get a higher degree I can look into those places.</p>
<p>I’m sorry of my lack of knowledge, I’m not entirely sure how all these things work and our school never had a guidance counselor and my parents weren’t sure of the whole process on everything.</p>
<p>I took two pre college courses at my high school through Alleghany College of Maryland, Grammar and Communication Skills and did quite well in them.
I’m not quite sure on my class rank but I can check tomorrow through my old principal.</p>
<p>I am planning to retake my SAT and I’ve been studying, my math is what suffers most, our school didn’t have the best math programs and I had some tutoring throughout elementary and high school in that area. My boyfriend on the other hand is excellent in math and he’s been tutoring me in that area for the SAT and I’ve been tutoring him in reading. Were really working on this together and hoping to get in the same college so that we can continue to help one another with the help of future professors and the like.</p>
<p>Is a 2 year college too high of a reach for the two of us? Something like The Southern University of Maine? </p>
<p>As I said he only had a 1.8 GPA and hasn’t taken his SATs yet so were not sure what to look for him that would work for both of us.</p>
