<p>What do you want to study and how much can your family afford to spend?</p>

<p>NYU Stern, CMU, USC, Emory.</p>

<p>Where in the USA do you want to study? How big of a college would you like? Is a huge campus focused on sports (think Ohio State) important? Is a small bucolic setting more your desire?</p>

<p>You should inquire of friends and family. Also make an appointment at your counselor’s office once school starts. This summer, you can go to Library and check out various college search books to get a feel. This requires your involvement, not just posting on CC. Good luck to you.</p>
