College Suggestions?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey everyone. I'm a junior in high school and am beginning to look at colleges. I'm from MA. I have around a 3.75 GPA... I'm not sure of my weighted GPA, though I have taken all honors courses possible and will have taken 5 AP classes by the time I graduate. My class rank is 7/186 (top 5%). I have decent ECs (soccer, lacrosse, Spanish club, yearbook, lots of volunteering). Here's what I'm looking for:</p>

<p>-Large school with school spirit and D1 sports
-Warm climate
-Suburban
-Good academics, but not extremely competitive
Some schools I'm interested in: FSU, UF, UGA, UMiami, could you suggest more?</p>

<p>Also - I visited the University of Miami last April and loved it! If I keep up my grades would you consider this a match? Reach?</p>

<p>Emory, Vanderbilt, Duke, UVA.</p>

<p>I’m glad you visited U Miami as that is one that I would’ve suggested. </p>

<p>Also, have you looked at Tulane? The sports scene is not nearly as dynamic, but the school (and New Orleans!) are a ton of fun. And the school is very, very underrated on CC and elsewhere.</p>

<p>You need to take the ACT and SAT NOW!!!</p>

<p>What is your major?</p>

<p>Anyways, try UGA, U Alabama, LSU, UT-Austin (keep in the top 10% if you do like this place) Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt.</p>

5

<p>UNC-Chapel Hill, for sure. Some of the best sports around, and great academics to boot.</p>

<p>ais,
I hope you notice that the range of selectivity suggested here is quite broad. That’s not a reflection on you, but on how difficult it has become to get into many colleges. OHKID’s comment about the SAT and ACT is on the money as this will go a long way to determining your odds of admission. So also will your school’s profile and its record of sending kids to top colleges. But I do think you would be smart to look into the Honors programs at many of the suggested colleges, several of which offer attractive financial incentives to high-scoring applicants.</p>

<p>OHkid is right.</p>

<p>Take your ACT & SAT as soon as you can (do both). Then work on weak areas.</p>

<p>Is money an issue? If it is, do you know what your family’s EFC is? If you don’t know their EFC, do you know their approx income?</p>

<p>'You may need Merit $$.</p>

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

8

<p>Clemson!!!</p>

<p>If I were in your shoes. UTexas-Austin. Great academics, athletics, school pride, food. :)</p>

10

<p>Mizzou, but you would have a find a niche there. I agree with OHKID- what’s your major?</p>

<p>You are a fine Miami candidate. Target ACC, SEC and Arizona/ASU</p>
