College Help

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello
I am a junior and am wondering which colleges I should apply to.
My grades are o.k. at about a 3.8 weighted, and I should be valedictorian by the time I am a senior. I have taken 2 AP classes last year and am taking 2 this year. I am also dual enrolling in two classes as well. I have also taken two years of IB
Tests
I got a 32 composite on the ACT; I have not taken the SAT yet
Extracurricular
I ball boy for tennis at a local wheelchair tournament and at a local pro tournament. I volunteer at my local animal shelter. I tutor kids at my temple. I am also going to do summer school at Columbia this summer. I have also interned at Prudential Realty.
Hook
I go to a 99% minority school in a small neighborhood, yet I am not a minority. My parents have encountered some legal and financial trouble and are also in the process of getting a divorce. I will not though have to apply for financial aid if that helps.<br>
Interests
I love sports, the stock market, and real estate. I read the Wall Street Journal and watch CNBC and Fox Business whenever I have a chance. I also read all of the real estate magazines in my area and I also know most of the listings in my area. I also always read Sports Illustrated. I also like to read.
Location
The college can be in any location since I am used to living in a big city (I lived in NYC for 9 years) and I would also go to a rural school as well.
Major
I want to major in business, but if I fall in love with a school that does not offer it I would major in history or economics</p>

<p>Any suggestions
Thank you for any advice</p>

<p>Your HS guidance office is the first and best source of info. See if there are any college fairs upcoming. Talk to others you know who have gone to college or are current students. See what factored into their decisions. See which of those criteria are important to you. Some will be, some won’t (big or small school, rural or urban, big sports culture or not, artsy, near many cultural sites, area of the country, etc.)</p>

<p>I know I already have I just want some other persons opinon.</p>

12

<p>What is your home state now?</p>

13

<p>Florida, but like I said I could go anywhere</p>

14

<p>Villanova University might be worth looking at. It is 20 minutes outside of Center city Phila, with 2 rail lines providing connections to it. It is Catholic but not dogmatic, and has a number of Jewish students. They have a very strong business program that has risen quickly in the ratings.</p>

<p>If you have an interest in international business and are interested in a 2,300 student liberal arts college, you might look at Dickinson College in Carlisle PA.</p>

<p>I would prefer not to go to a religious school though</p>
