GPA: 95.1 UW 97.1 W
SAT: Projected based on practice and psat: 2200
Money not an issue at the moment.
I live in NYC and don’t want to go more than 4 hours away
Want to dorm
No conservative schools
Looking for a big campus
Into the “preppy” scene
Good party scene is far from a deciding factor but I’d consider it
Intrest in science
Can you make recommendations? Matches/Safeties/Reaches? Good science programs?
Nobody can give you reaches/matches/safeties without SAT/ACT scores, but I’ll play ball assuming a near perfect GPA and 2200 SAT.
Reach:
Columbia
UPenn (not ultra liberal, more middle)
Cornell
Dartmouth
Harvard
Yale
Brown
Princeton (not ultra liberal, more middle)
MIT
Match:
NYU (will probably be more middle than you’d expect because of the business school)
Rutgers
Syracuse
Boston University
Boston College
Northeastern
Safeties:
Fordham
A myriad of other schools that I either don’t know of or don’t want to list
Nor can they give you any hope of a safety without knowing how much your family can afford for college (a safety must be affordable or it’s just a waste of application $).
Are you entering Junior year?
Going south is an idea. 4 hours fly? Because I wouldn’t know how far 4 hrs drive is. Can you give an example school that fits that description that you like?
@BrownParent lets just say the furthest south is maryland and the furthest north is new hampshire
@ClarinetDad16 yes, I want to start looking now and I really only know of a limited number of schools so I wanted to get more ideas.
@“Erin’s Dad” for me, I would consider safety a SUNY school or something under 15k a year.
You might like some New England LACs. A lot of them have a liberal and preppy vibe. Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, and Bowdoin for example. Those ones are probably more on the reach-y side though.
What you are describing are schools like:
Syracuse
American
George Washington
Penn State
Maryland
Boston University
Rutgers
Connecticut
so far my list is:
reaches:
columbia
upenn
bowdoin
amherst
georgetown
safeties:
binghamton
stonybrook
temple
syracuse
penn state
matches:
u maryland
bu
northeastern
wake forest
gw
bc
nyu
Your post screamed Colgate to me.
@Qwerty568 just looked up colgate and I’m definitely gonna check it out thanks!
