Help making a college list

College Search & Selection
1

Hi, I’m currently a junior in high school, and I’m having a hard time finding colleges that fit all of my interests to make a short list of schools. I have a GPA of about 4.4 and ACT score of 34. My ideal schools would be mid-sized (4,000-12,000), more liberal than conservative, near/outside a city but with a campus feel, and on the East coast. Another big factor for me is school spirit, because I love sports and want to have a school where everyone goes to the games and has lots of enthusiasm.

Any ideas for reaches, safeties, or selective schools would be awesome! Let me know if you have any questions :slight_smile:

I’m also not opposed to leaving the East Coast, but ideally most colleges I apply to would be here unless I have a dream school further away.
