<p>Just started applying to college (yes i know kind of late) and am looking for suggestions at colleges and specifically ones at which i have a possiblity for merit aid. I'm pretty open about going to any college as long as they have some Jewish people. Undecided for major but but looking for something more towards the science and mathy side.
My stats are:
2200 on SAT
800 and 780 on SAT IIs
top 3% in public school in suburbs of NYC
4.0 GPA
I have the usual ECs and academic honors:
Chairperson of student group that meets with superintendent to discuss district issues
Was on search committee for new superintendent.
Model UN 9-12 with variety of awards.
Editor on Science Magazine.
Have been on ARML team and took AIME but only got like 3 or 4.
Qualified for National Chemistry Olympiad
Received Rensselaer Medal which goes to best math and science student in grade
First place in some county math competitions
Thanks for all your help.</p>
<p>You should definitely look into Tulane.</p>
<p>well most top colleges have significant jewish populations, you have the stats to get into most of the top colleges, and most of them are good in science and math.</p>
<p>you need to narrow your search a little! start with thinking about these questions:</p>
<p>do you have a preference for big vs small?
urban vs suburban vs rural?
any certain feel to the school (i.e. tailgates/football? greek scene? conservative/liberal? preppy/artsy/jock/etc?)
any part of the country you want to be in/dont want to be in?</p>
<p>to get a general sense of jewish life, go to <a href="http://www.hillel.org%5B/url%5D">www.hillel.org</a></p>
<p>Brandeis is an excellent school with a significant Jewish population.</p>
<p>Boston University has a brand new Hillel, 4000 Jewish undergraduates and your stats will likely get you merit aid. This year BU has EDI and EDII. EDII deadline is January 3. ED applicants have priority consideration for the half-tuition University Scholarship.</p>
<p>University of Michigan has the most Jewish students in the country.
Many of the Ivys meet your general criteria.
If you could narrow down by size, location, etc... that would help.</p>
