<p>I really want some target universities and LACs. Thanks a lot!</p>

2

<p>Take a look at Colgate and Lehigh if your GPA and class rank is up there.</p>

3

<p>I’d suggest looking into the Colby and Bucknell and second Colgate. Wesleyan is a low reach, not really a target. Same for Cornell.</p>

4

<p>Richmond and Gettysburg</p>

5

<p>Lafayette would make an excellent target, and yes, Wesleyan and Cornell are lower reaches</p>

6

<p>Rhodes is a good target. LAC in Memphis, TN, which I imagine would be a nice change of scenery for you. Only thing that might be disappointing is that it doesn’t have band. But, it has NCAA D3 athletics meaning you could continue to participate in football, tennis, or swimming at the college level if you wanted to. There are also a lot of opportunities to participate in student government here, from the senate to class councils to honor council and social regulations council.</p>
