Give me some ideas for schools.

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am currently a junior and am trying to build my college list. I am having a hard time finding schools that are considered "matches" for me that fit what i am looking for. I have safties and reaches but not many matches.
my stats:
gpa uw: 3.5
gpa w: 3.7
SAT: 1850(670 math, 560 cr, 620 writing)
EC's: not bad. clubs, one sport, internship, job, not much but a little volunteer work
rigor: a lot of honors classes. i will have taken 5 ap's when im done with high school.
To give you an idea a couple of my reaches are Lehigh, Lafayette, GW, Babson, and Geneseo. Some of my safties are indiana, suny oneonta, clark, and suny albany.</p>

<p>In my college i want....
- no more than 15000 students. the smaller the better
- northeast location
- in or near a big city
- i care about prestige
- well known business program(specifically finance)
- a decently sized jewish population</p>

<p>Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>Try putting your data into the college search engine here on CC. It tries to find matches based on your GPA and test scores. It might give you some ideas to consider…</p>
