<p>Hi guys! I was wondering if you could tell me some colleges to consider? Okay so I'll just tell you about what I want in a college:</p>
<p>Artsy (environment)
Pretty selective
Liberal Arts
Northeast
Urban
Good financial aid
Diversity
Relaxed, Not very stressful (But still has great academics)</p>
<p>I know that's not a lot but that's all I can think of now. My DREAM SCHOOL is Brown (: But I know I probably won't get in because it's so selective. I just EVERYTHING about it! I'm already thinking about Vassar, Wesleyan, Amherst and others..</p>
<p>It might be a good idea to post stats just sk we can see what you mean by “highly selective”, its hard to find, as I would call them EXTREMELY selective universities like brown that are also stress free as there will always be something to stress about. ;)</p>
<p>look at Macalaster , not in the north east but, in Minneapolis. the rest lines up with what you want. assuming you have the grades and sat/act scores.</p>
<p>If you’re female and willing to consider a women’s college, check out Barnard.
It’s one of the best examples of a truly urban LAC. The affiliation with Columbia University gives you more course selection than virtually any other LAC (with the possible exception of the consortium colleges).</p>
<p>Other urban LACs include Macalester, Colorado College, Rhodes, and Occidental (all outside your NE region). </p>
<p>Here are some small, need-blind, full-need colleges in the NE that are not in rural areas or very small towns:
Barnard (women only, but affiliated w/Columbia)
Brandeis
College of the Holy Cross
Haverford
Swarthmore
Trinity
Vassar
Wellesley (women only)
Wesleyan</p>
<p>I have a… 3.9 GPA, and I dont really test well I have a 1820 SAT and 27 ACT and I still need to take my sat subject tests. I have some safeties in my state (NC) but I DREAM of going up north. I’m pretty sure I’ll apply to Vassar and Wesleyan. And I reaaally dont want to go to an all girls school… haha…</p>
<p>Brown, Amherst, Wesleyan and Vassar very likely are out-of-reach for your test scores. Consider Bennington, Connecticut College, Sarah Lawrence, or some of the Mid-Atlantic LACs (such as Skidmore, Dickinson, Juniata, Muhlenberg, or Goucher). However, these are expensive schools that may not cover your full need. SUNY-Geneseo is a public LAC with a much lower sticker price (even for out of state students); it may or may not be cheaper after aid than the private alternatives.</p>
<p>I agree that you are aiming very high given your standardized tests. Look into the financial aid situation and think about schools like: Skidmore, Clark, Connecticut College, Bard, Dickinson, Goucher, SUNY New Paltz.</p>
