Zane 91, I’m a little concerned about your counselor’s remark about everywhere in the US is colder than where you’re from. I don’t know where you’re from but the US is a huge country and there are states in the southern part where the temperatures are quite warm in the winter and hot in the summer. So when you say cold we think you mean the northern states. A lot the schools we have been suggesting, including St Lawrence, have weather that isn’t just cold, it’s REALLY cold even for most Americans. If you come from a tropical climate that kind of cold would be very different from what you’re accustomed to. I live in coastal northern California, which has a temperate climate and the thought of going to the northern parts of states in the midwest or east coast in the winter makes me shiver. It’ll fine be if you’re hardy and have the right clothes, so you might have to invest in a new wardrobe. If you might be interested in a warm climate look schools in Arizona, southern California, southern Texas, all the states on the Gulf of Mexico and Florida.
Your list of ECs are very impressive, good luck!
