<p>okay, so im trying to find a college that fits my criteria. i want:
-medium sized school.
-not a lot of frats.
-prestigious.
-university
-research opportunities, especially in sciences.
-good at engineering (environmental engineering)
-diverse cultures.
-gives good financial aid. (income <60k.)</p>
<p>2310 sat / 35 act... 3.98 UW gpa, 4.99 W gpa... okay ECs.</p>
<p>"-gives good financial aid. (income <60k.)"</p>
<p>You need to visit the Financial Aid Forum, and read through the threads on guaranteed merit-based aid. There are a number of excellent honors programs that would throw serious money at you but some have priority application dates of Dec. 1.</p>
<p>Seems, at least to me, you just described Cornell.</p>
<p>thanks happymomof1, i will! and wow, cornell is on my list. that reminds me: i really like nature and gothic architecture, haha…</p>
