Help Me Find a College In The Northeast

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello, I am a junior from Buffalo, New York and am currently looking at schools. I am looking for a school in the Northeast or no longer than a 8-10 hour drive from Buffalo. I am indifferent about a rural or urban campus. I definitely want to go to a medium or large school with exciting athletic teams to root for. Also, great academics and a liberal laid back atmosphere are important to me. I visited University of Pittsburgh and it seemed like a great fit for me, but I want to explore other options. My EFC is around 25k and my parents said 30k is the max amount they can afford to pay each year. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Ranked 16/223
2060 SAT: 740 Math/660 CR/660 Writing (Waiting for new scores)
All honors and college courses: 6+ APs
Over 90% on every NYS Regent's Exam
Two Years National Honors Society
Employed at minimum wage for one year
Competitively Sailing for 2 years</p>

<p>What are some good safety, match, and reach schools for me? Thanks for anybody who can offer advice.</p>
