Help Finding More Schools to Apply to?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm currently planning on applying to:
Vassar (ED if parents let me)
Wesleyan
Skidmore
Bates
NYU - Gallatin </p>

<p>I also like, but have not visited:
Bard
Clark
Hamilton</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.84 weighted and probably around 3.5 unweighted. I really like schools with students who are passionate, intellectual, and artistic. I plan on going into Politics, but would also like the freedom to take classes in English, Theater, Environmental Science, Foreign Language, etc. Most schools I like are SLACs, but some (like NYU Gallatin) just have the "vibe" I'm looking for. I'd like to stay in the Northeast US, if possible.</p>

<p>Any more suggestions on where I should look? I'm scared I'm missing somewhere! Thanks!</p>

<p>You like open/flexible curriculum schools? maybe one of the MA consortium Hampshire/Smith/Mt Holyoke?</p>

<p>Maybe Brown if you don’t mind a high reach?</p>

<p>Will you have a safety?</p>

<p>You can always look in the DC area. American, Georgetown, George Washington… I second Brownparent’s concern about there being no safety on your list.</p>

<p>I have a couple of safety options, I just haven’t decided exactly which I will apply to:
Clark
Bard
University of Vermont
Allegheny</p>

5

<p>Bard is around 35% acceptance rate–not really a safety</p>

<p>The only reason Bard and Clark are considered safeties for me is that pretty much everyone from my school who has ever applied to either of them has gotten in - kids with much lower stats than mine. I know they’re selective, but for some reason they accept the vast majority of kids from my school.</p>

<p>That being said, do you have any more suggestions for safeties?</p>

<p>might look at Holy Cross-located in Worcester like Clark.</p>
