Help Deciding on College...Please Help!

College Search & Selection

<p>Okay, going into my junior year...I know it's kind of early, but I would like to know, so please do not give me an answer such as "you have time to decide." My grades are good</p>

<p>Freshman Year - Weighted - 97.66
Sophmore Year - Weighted - 98.43</p>

<p>Freshman and Sophmore year, I took the hardest classes possible, besides one.</p>

<p>This year I am taking 4 AP's (Chem, US, Lang/Comp, Calc BC), and the rest honors</p>

<p>I plan to major somewhere in the business field, but I haven't necessarily decided where yet...</p>

<p>I took the PLAN/Pre-ACT, last year, and was projected to get a 31-33 on the ACT (I've read online that the projections are accurate for the most part, if not lower than the actual score)</p>

<p>I live in NY, and would not love to travel extremely far, but don't count out options...basically, what I'm looking for are good, non-amazing schools.</p>

<p>You’re not deciding on a college, you’re putting together a list. What can your family afford? There is a list of schools that offer good merit aid in the financial aid forum. Based on your score projections you should have some good options.</p>

<p>I suggest speaking with your parents and maybe your school college counselor (who is probably busy with seniors right now).</p>

<p>You aren’t really at the list stage yet. Right now is the time for you to visit colleges to get a feel for why you’re looking for (size, location, etc.).</p>

<p>Definitely visit some state schools because you’re going to need a safety school you’d be happy at.</p>

<p>You could visit NYU to get a feel for a large school in a city. NYU is expensive but has a great business school.</p>

<p>You could also look at Cornell.</p>
