College Search & Selection
1

<p>Stats: 4.0, SATs 1440/1600 2200/2400 ACT 31</p>

<p>I've really come to a roadblock in my college search and I could use a few fresh ideas.. I'm unsure of what I'll major in but some of my possibe majors include advertising, communications, graphic design and psychology.</p>

<p>I'm looking for a school where the students are intelligent but also social and fun!I Live in PA and hope to stay in the east.</p>

<p>I'd like to be near a city...But still semi-interested in a true college campus.</p>

<p>So far the only schools I'm sure I'm applying to are:
WashU- huge reach.
UVA- big reach because of OOS
GWU
Michigan
Pitt-safety
Maryland-safety </p>

<p>still considering NYU</p>

<p>I just want to have some more match/medium reach schools to consider because I am not sure if I'll fit at any of these.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>How about Macalester? It’s liberal arts, but it is in a big city (St. Paul, MN) and they have a real campus. Plus, it would be a good match for your stats.</p>

<p>Also, what about USC (Southern California, not the South Carolina one). That’s DEFINITELY a big city, not too much of a reach for you.</p>

<p>Tufts, Boston College,and Brandeis are all near Boston though none actually in the city.</p>
