<p>I am looking for top-notch academic colleges/universities in cities. I'd love to go to college on the eastern coast, preferably, NYC, Boston, and Philadelphia. I also prefer large universities to small lacs. Any suggestions? Thank you.</p>
<p>Unweighed GPA? SAT? Class rank? AP scores, if any? ECs? </p>
<p>Desired major(s)?</p>
<p>Do you want those universities to be downtown or is within 10 miles from downtown good enough? </p>
<p>You really need to give us more information.</p>
<p>Off the top of my head,
Columbia, NYU in NYC
BU in Boston</p>
<p>NYU

Northeastern
Georgetown

George Washington
University of Pennsylvania

Carnegie Mellon
University of Pittsburgh

Brown (does Providence count?)</p>
<p>Close to cities
Swarthmore (Philly)
Tufts (Boston)
Harvard (Boston)
MIT (Boston)
BC (Boston)</p>

<p>I'd take a look at this thread here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=101882&page=1&pp=20&highlight=Urban%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=101882&page=1&pp=20&highlight=Urban</a></p>
<p>...and then come back to us with a clearer sense of what kind of setting you want.</p>
