So I’m a Junior in Highschool from New Jersey, and I am struggling in my college picking process.
I have a 1560/2400 on my SATS (Yeah I know I’m dumb).
I plan on taking the ACTS this June and hoping to get above a 26.
My GPA, further displays my unintelligence as I have a 3.0
My school does not rank.
I plan on making my early decision to Penn State.
I want to major in accounting/business
I have volunteered for the Red Cross Association and will volunteer over the summer for the Liberty Science Center (It’s like a museum for mainly little kids, that displays interactive science related attractions.)
I will be wrestling for 4 years of highschool after next year.
I am asian (Pretty dumb for an asian).
Please give me some suggestions for schools that i should apply to.
Your scores, like your GPA, are average. Not bad, not great, but average and that’s perfectly fine. A huge number of schools cater to average high school students.
Can you afford the full out of state cost of Penn State? The first measure of selecting a college is knowing how much you can afford, which usually means how much will parents will pay. Don’t know? Ask them.
Money is not really a problem for me. My parents are willing to pay for college as long as it’s a college that is good for my scores if not better.
Repeatedly putting yourself down isn’t cool
Any geographical or size preference?
Yeah but I embrace being dumb.
I prefer the east coast and middle to large college.
With a 3.0 and 1564 SAT scores, you’re not getting into Rutgers or Penn State (main campus). Do you have any preferences as far as colleges go? Eg, size of the school, presence of greek life, surrounding environment, etc. Do you wish to stay in a particular region of the country or would you be willing to go elsewhere? If yes to the latter, are there any parts of the country you’re not interested in?
try using the supermatch function to the left (under find a college)
St John’s University, Queens, NY, Seton Hall University, South Orange NJ, University of Buffalo, Duquesne University. Providence College, maybe?
