<p>I'm looking for some schools that i could consider, i have quite a big upward trend in my GPA, and by mid senior year it should be around 3.6/4, with around 10 honors, and 5 APs. I will hopefully have around a 2100 SAT or 32ish ACT as well. Im involved in a couple of clubs, leading 3 of them as well. As i dont know what i would like to major in I want a school that has many different areas, so not necessarily a small liberal arts school. However, im probably going to get an MBA after undergrad and some work experience. I live in New Jersey, but the location doesnt matter too much, neither does financial aid.</p>
<p>So if you guys have suggestions for some Reaches, Matches, and safeties, that would be great. I've been stressing about this a lot, and could really use some outside help. Thanks!</p>
<p>Reaches: Michigan, Carnegie Mellon, Boston College, Colgate, Lehigh, Wake Forest, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech
Matches: Maryland, Indiana, BU, Villanova, George Washington, Syracuse, Loyola Maryland, Ohio State, Richmond, Delaware, Northeastern
Safe Matches: UConn, Rutgers </p>
<p>Thanks that’s a great list , anyone have any other suggestions?</p>
<p>How much can your family afford? That list has public Us from many different states which will cost up to $50K/year for an OOS student.</p>
<p>Money isn’t really a factor, I can spend however much.</p>
<p>did your parents give you specifics? Most students who don’t have a hard number before they start their search end up stuck since their parents “whatever, we’ll make it work” turns out to have meant “we hadnt realized it’d cost this much, go to the cheapest on your list/commute/community college”.’</p>
<p>I really do have all the money already, its set aside in a bank account, ready to be used. </p>
<p>Try using the Super Match engine available on the CC main page.</p>
<p>Based on these criteria, most national LACs ranked 40-60 would be matches, Penn State if you apply early (October - rolling admissions mean that if you apply in January your odds make it a high match to low reach since GPA is 2/3 of the decision), Maryland, UConn, Indiana, UMN-Twin Cities, UC Davis, UCSB, UWashington-Seattle.
If you have that 3.6 and 2100 by November, you can apply to UAlabama’s Presidential scholarship (full tuition, Honors Admission, Honors Dorms, all kinds of perks).</p>

Actually LACs can be ideal places for those unsure of their major. Any many I’m familiar with your are not rushed into a major (I didn’t declare until my Junior year). Students are encouraged to try a lot of different areas. At many Research Universities you can get put onto a track early, as happened to my sister at Big Flagship. I’d suggest learning more about the difference between LACs and Research U’s and visiting a few of each before assembling lists.</p>
