<p>I am unsure of where I want to go to college, and I was wondering if someone (or some people) could help me. I am a sophomore, but am looking to get a head start!</p>
<p>Stats:
GPA: ~3.4. I should have a 3.5 by the end of the semester. I'm taking competitive classes at my school.
ACT: 25. from Freshman year. I did terrible in the Math section (20), but only finished about half of the questions. Based off of the PLAN I think I can raise it to a 27 or 28.<br>
SAT: haven't taken yet
EC's (so far): Varsity Track (9, 10), JV Swimming(9,10) , 4-H (9,10) , Girl Scouts (9), Rotary Youth Exchange Student to Finland (11) (next year!!!)
Resident of Ohio
Considered a Legacy at the University of Toledo, UW-Whitewater, John Carroll University, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Columbia University
I want to do a gap year: either CityYear or another Exchange, we'll see how it goes.
I go to a competitive school. in the top 500 in America as ranked by US News
Want to major in a foreign language. not sure which one:-). Don't want to go to a school with only French and Spanish offered as majors.<br>
Study Abroad is a MUST. will not consider a school without it.
Want small, discussion based classes in college. I want a big school. with lots of people. Diverse!! I want to people to be friendly. I don't want a really liberal school. Or a school that is to conservative. Lots of School sprit would be awesome. But I don't want a party school. </p>
<p>You must have an interesting family tree to be considered legacy for 6 different colleges. To get small discussion classes and a large school you will have to get into an honors program. The best thing you can do is continue to work on your grades and ECs.</p>
<p>Honestly, it'll be hard to find big schools with small intimate classes. With your atmosphere preferences, I'd say mid-sized universities would be best. </p>
<p>How about Elon? They have a strong international focus. </p>
<p>The Claremont Consortium also comes to mind. In the CC there are multiple schools on one common land area, and they all share facilities. You get the benefit of a small school atmosphere, as well as the benefit of being by lots of other people at the other colleges. They're pretty international too. You could probably get in at Pitzer...maybe Scripps. </p>
<p>Occidental, while not in the Consortium, would also be a good option. </p>
<p>Or you could save some money and go to Miami OH. It's an in-state honors college, and has more of a private school feel.</p>
<p>Kalamazoo College is very serious about study abroad. U Chicago has programs in Paris, Barcelona, China, and some other places. Bucknell may be good.</p>
<p>American is very liberal. ACT a little low, but that would be great if you think you'll raise it. and i guess you're going for the SAT, too...good! but the school is high on diversity and international feel. sounds like it'll be hard to fill some of your requests...not too liberal, but not too conservative. lots of school spirit usually comes with partying, not that you have to. small classes don't usually come easily with a big school, but i don't know what you mean by "big". good luck!</p>
<p>I am an international applicant from Nepal.Becoz of my personal problems I didn't apply earlier this year.Now I am thinking of applying but it is very difficult to find financial assistance giving college at this time of the year.As my family can't afford for my study,I can't study in the US without receiving assistance.
So if any of u know abt such colleges plz post a reply.
My stat
3A2B GCE a levels
SAT 1370</p>
