A great suggestion. The NJ/PA area is teeming with good colleges. A few the OP probably has the stats for:
[ul][<em>]Bryn Mawr (single-sex)
[</em>]Bucknell
[<em>]Dickinson
[</em>]Franklin & Marshall
[<em>]Gettysburg
[</em>]Juniata
[<em>]Lafayette
[</em>]Ursinus[/ul] </p>
<p>As someone noted earlier, whether you will receive merit aid at these will depend heavily on your SAT scores and class rank.</p>
<p>As a smaller alternative to Rutgers, you may want to consider TCNJ as well.</p>
