Desperate for college matches!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm desperate to find some match schools. I only have reach schools, safe schools, and one match school. Can you suggest some schools in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania that would be a good match? My guidance counselor keeps giving me reach schools, such as Swarthmore, Cornell, etc.</p>

<p>I don't want to post all of my stats, but here are my GPA and SAT scores</p>

<p>Math: 550
Reading: 590
Writing: 660</p>

<p>97 weighted GPA (not sure what that converts to on the 4.0 scale?)</p>

<p>I have a good amount of club and volunteer activities.</p>

2

<p>I’ve also only taken honors and AP classes, aside from math.</p>

3

<p>What is your UW GPA? What is your home state? What can your family afford? A school is only a safety if you can get in and afford it.</p>

<p>Tell us more about what you are looking for: size, urban/suburban/college town, academic interests, culture/vibe, deal-breakers (single sex? religious?)</p>

<p>Take a look schools which are SAT optional – this may be a good choice for you given your high GPA. [SAT/ACT</a> Optional 4-Year Universities | FairTest](<a href=“http://fairtest.org/university/optional]SAT/ACT”>ACT/SAT Optional List - Fairtest)</p>

6

<p>I believe my unweighted is a 93, I’m not quite sure and I’m in the top 15%. My home state is New Jersey</p>

7

<p>I don’t really care about much of that other than religion; I’d rather have no affiliation and coed.</p>

8

<p>Ursinus is a good school if your parents can afford it. Your best bet for costs is Rutgers.</p>
