<p>Yeah, so I'm going to be a senior.
I have good grades (about a 3.7 GPA), 29 ACT, and I'm a member of NHS, Student Government President, newspaper editor, varsity golfer, and I hold food drives in my neighborhood.
I'm well-rounded, but I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO APPLY.
I looked at Emerson, BC, and BU, but I didn't like the city campuses.
I'm currently undecided about what to major in or what to do when I'm older. Which makes me even more stressed out, yay!
Anyways, it seems as though whenever I search for schools on College Board, the same ones come up. And here's the problem - none of them appeal to me.</p>
<p>So can anyone help me find a school? I'm freaking out because I know I should be getting my list together, and I currently have no schools to apply to. :(</p>
<p>Specifics:
-4000 to 15000 would be ideal
-New England/mid-Atlantic is preferred
-Greek life would be nice, but definitely not a necessity
-School should be big on sports (not like Emerson...ughhh! haha)</p>
<p>I think that's it for now. Thanks so much to anyone willing to help me out.</p>
<p>Lehigh if you dont like cities, its a beautiful campus i wouldve gone there if it wasnt for the location (i wanted a city!) and they have a huge rivalry vs lafayette in sports</p>
<p>If you can get that ACT score up a point or so I would recommend Bucknell and Villanova. UConn is just a tad larger than your requests, but may pique your interest. Syracuse maybe? Just a few suggestion</p>
<p>Whoops, I forgot to mention one crucial fact.
I live in Connecticut, and the winters aren’t bad, but I do NOT want winters worse than here.
I am deathly afraid of ice because I broke my arm on it. Whenever I encounter ice, I start shaking and become very anxious and nervous.
Therefore, although I would love going to Syracuse, my fear will not allow me to, which is a shame. :/</p>
<p>Also, if I were to declare a major at this very moment, it would be Public Relations, if that changes anything at all.</p>
<p>Try visiting a few schools of varying types–suburban, rural, larger, smaller–and you’ll get a better sense of what appeals to you. Schools that are really big in sports may be a lot larger than you’d like. Also, when you think sports, consider whether you want a school where thousands are attending the games each week or whether a place with a lot of strong club teams to participate in would be enough.</p>
<p>More on American: It has a strong Communications department. AU is a member of the Patriot League–but I would say sports are not a huge part of campus life. The campus feels suburban, even though it is within DC city limits. There’s no on-campus housing for fraternities and sororities, and while they exist, they are in no way a dominant influence. Normally the weather is more moderate than Connecticut’s, but last winter was a bear, with a massive snow storm that closed the school for a week. Unless you head further south, you can’t be sure of completely avoiding icy conditions, though most schools clean up quickly after a storm.</p>
<p>when i visited american i was actually surprised because i thought they had no emphasis on sports but theyre trying to build it up apparently. they dont have a football team though which i didnt like!</p>
<p>One thing about upstate NY winters: We get lots and lots of SNOW, but very little ice. In my humble opinion, snow is much easier to deal with. Most upstate campuses are also excellent at keeping the walks well cleared too. So you might not want to write Syracuse off so quickly.</p>
