Help me add to my list.

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi, I am a African American senior in high school in the state of Indiana. I applied to IU, Purdue, and Indiana State this morning. Right now, I am looking for colleges to apply to that are out of state. I am looking for a college that has a decent amount of diversity, medium to large size, a beautiful campuses, and a decent/good reputation. Help me add to my list.</p>

<p>Here's what I have so far.
-Arizona State University
-University of Colorado, Boulder
-Florida State University
-UC SB</p>

<p>About me:</p>

<p>I will graduate with both a high school diploma AND an associates degree because of a program I am in. So far I have around 40 colleges credits. Over the summer I spent two weeks at a local college taking a course. I will be taking several 200 level college courses during my senior year.</p>

<p>My mom is a single mother with a masters degree and she makes around $60,000 a year.</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 2.89 unweighted</p>

<p>Sats: 1500-1600 ( I am planning on taking it again in October. Im aiming to get my Sat's in the 1700-1800 range)</p>

<p>ECs:
-International Club - 2 years
- Ucafe (Student run coffee shop) - 1 year
-Volunteering for a Presidential Campaign (Not going to tell which one. I don't want to start a debate lol.)</p>

<p>So far I have one decent letter of recommendation from my Human Biology teacher.</p>

<p>Maybe look at Howard and Temple</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick response. I don’t want to got to a HBCU, but I will check out temple.</p>

<p>UCSB is probably not a good choice as you’d be an out-of-state student and therefore paying high tuition.</p>

<p>bump .</p>

<p>Have you tried the CC supermatch?</p>

<p>Florida state might be a reach too because of youe gpa,but give it a shot. Have you looked at Costal Carolina or High Point University?</p>

<p>Many out-of-state publics will come up far short in the financial aid department for out-of-state students. Try the net price calculators at each school you are considering.</p>

<p>UCs are probably not worth applying to from an admissions standpoint (as well as likely being unaffordable) – minimum GPA for out-of-state applicants is 3.4 (10th-11th grade, +1 weighting for up to 8 semesters of AP or college courses), and most are more selective than that.</p>

<p>Would your community college course work make you transfer-ready in your desired major, and are your grades in community college significantly better than in high school? If so, then you may want to see if transfer admissions to schools which are transfer-friendly (mainly your in-state public universities) may give you better chances of admission.</p>
