Help! I have no idea where I want to go.

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Well, I have tried using the "helpful" college search sites like CB but I always narrow it down to two colleges that I'm not too eager to visit or a hundred possible schools to choose from. I would say I'm a bit above average, and I'd like to go to selective school but I just don't have a clue.</p>

<p>(No idea what I want to major in yet, but possibly education or just follow a pre-med track, very different I know.)</p>

<p>About Me:
Entering senior year
SAT: 1990 (one sitting, if that matters) I've only taken it once, will retake this fall.
GPA: 4.4ish (weighted) 3.89ish (unweighted)
Def. top 10% of class, possibly top 5% (not sure)
SAT II's US History 710
Math II 680</p>

<p>(don't know if all this matters but hey, can't hurt to add)
Hispanic
Broke xD
(under 60,000/yr)
single parent</p>

<p>Uh... I'd like to say on the East coast. Preferably around MD but suggest whatever :)
Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>OH! EC's!

<p>Given your situation I thought I’d steer you towards Questbridge and see if you qualify. Personally I know of many bright students in low-income situations who were matched to great schools through this program. [QuestBridge</a> Home](<a href=“http://www.questbridge.org/]QuestBridge”>http://www.questbridge.org/)</p>

<p>also: look into Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, George Washington U, and American U.</p>

<p>You may qualify for merit scholarships at Goucher or Loyola MD</p>

<p>Have you checked out St. Mary’s College of Maryland, the public liberal arts college? It’s not a Catholic girls school, although that’s what it sounds like. It’s a great school in a beautiful location on the Chesapeake.</p>

<p>What is your home state?</p>

<p>Agree with Seahawks506 and happy1. That is a great assortment of reach, match and safety schools all in or close to Maryland. Great list to start with. Visit and see which ones feel like a good fit. Good Luck and keep up the good grades!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone so much! I’ll look into QuestBridge. Sorry for not having replied sooner, I rarely get internet access so I can only post every so often. But still much appreciated! ^-^</p>
