<p>Location preferred in the East mainly..</p>

<p>I know that I am being ridiculous..
Please recommend me some colleges.. I will greatly appreciate all the recommendations.. Thank you.</p>

<p>umm...with your current stats...almost all of your choices are reach schools. even if they are in your academic range, they are soooo selective and unpredictable that u def. ne to cut those down and get more matches and a safety.</p>

<p>Anymore suggestions.. please?</p>

<p>not only are those schools incredibly selective, but being an asian international will not be a benefit on your application. you need some matches and at least a couple of safties. will you need financial aid?</p>

<p>You might as well go along with your current list and add Dartmouth Duke and Cornell (the remaining top private schools lol)</p>

<p>The only reason I suggest to add more is that you are Asian International, and at least Duke and Dartmouth have a good deal of international students, as well as strong econ, history, and psych departments</p>
