Having trouble finding college/universities I want.

College Search & Selection

<p>I can't seem to find schools that I'd be happy getting into. </p>

<p>I'd like a school with:
decent comp sci program
japanese language course/minor
study abroad program
co-op program
nice campus (urban/suburban)</p>

<p>Doesn't have to have all of these, but most would be nice. </p>

<p>I live on the east coast (NJ), and don't want to go too far, but don't mind going out of state.
current gpa: 3.5
looking for schools with avg SATs around the 1890-1930's.</p>

<p>My reach is Northeastern University, and I've looked into Drexel, RIT, and Rutgers already.</p>

<p>What is wrong with the schools on your current list? For example, Rutgers has a good CS major, Japanese language courses, study abroad program, and co-op program (you may want to visit to see if you like the campus).</p>

<p>However, you need to make sure that you have a safety that you will certainly be admitted to and will certainly be able to afford.</p>

<p>Oh, no, I definitely plan on applying at Rutgers. I was just mentioning the schools I had already looked into and that I’m considering.</p>

<p>Obviously, you have Drexel, but look into Dickinson too (nice campus, good study abroad, good Japanese program with great East Asian major, excellent science facilities and CS major).</p>

6

<p>Thanks, looked into Dickinson and considering it as an option.</p>

7

<p>any others? please?</p>

<p>I know you said you’d prefer east coast, but I’d seriously suggest looking at the University of Washington. Might be somewhat a reach but if your essay is awesome and you have something unique to show that can outweigh your grades.</p>

<p>looking for schools with avg SATs around the 1890-1930’s.</p>

<p>What is your SAT? What is your M+CR?</p>

<p>How much will your parents pay each year?</p>

10

<p>The most selective universities are likely to offer a language as (relatively) rare as Japanese, and you do not have the sat stats ~ in case you don’t receive a lot of replies.</p>

<p>Not certain about these in terms of your stats, but you could look into:
Colgate (NY)
Gettysburg ¶
University of Rochester (NY)<br>
Elizabethtown College ¶</p>

<p>But I also think Pitt is a good idea if it has both programs of interest.</p>
