College Search & Selection

<p>I'm a bit lost when it comes to finding suitable schools... Maybe some of you people could help?</p>

<p>What I'm looking for:
- excellent psych department
- fairly many international students
- usually small classes/oppertunities to recieve personal help/attention/whatever from the proffesors
- gives good financial aid (this is really important, my family has hardly any money for me to go to college) </p>

<p>Who I am:
-Female American citizen, but I've lived abroad my whole life
-In the IB diploma program (taking 4HL, 2SL subjects)
- SAT scores around 2000
- strong commitment to one EC interest, in different ways, including a leadership type of thing. Otherwise not that many extracurriculars, although I do ahve a few including volunteering for the red cross and things like that.
- not sure about my GPA. Not the top, but pretty high, and improving each year. My school doesn't rank. </p>

<p>Any suggestions appreciated!</p>

<p>Barnard. It's a women's college associated with Columbia University. Sounds like a perfect fit for you--good psychology, it's in NYC so it's good for internationals, it's a college not a university (meaning emphasis is on undergraduates because there are no graduate students), you can take classes at Columbia and the social life is completely integrated with Columbia's, and it fits your stats. Quite prestigious as well</p>
