Help me find a college?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>A little bit about me:
Class of 2015, go to a very prestigious public high school on national scale in affluent area (Maryland). GPA not set in stone atm, but I hope to finish off with a ~3.7 u/w. I think I would like to major in economics or business.
I am a year round runner (xc, indoor, outdoor) with a primary focus on 800m, I hope to run in college. I play tennis and enjoy an occasional round of golf. Ski too. I would consider myself a libertarian.</p>

<p>Colleges I think would be a good match for me based on the little research I've done (not necessarily for running):
Washington and Lee
Columbia
Hampden-Sydney
Wake Forrest
Georgetown (very appealing!)
UVa
U Richmond</p>

<p>I would prefer a preppy feel college on the east coast, open to anything however. Would also like it to not be filled with yappy super left wing students.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Do you live in Montgomery County?</p>

<p>Your list appears full of matches based on your description of what you are looking for. Sounds like W&L and UVA are especially good fits. Preppy, predominantly conservative, beautiful landscape for runners. They both have very good business schools as well. </p>

<p>For east coast you might want to take a look at Villanova as well.</p>

<p>@sungoose: Yes I live in Montgomery County</p>

<p>@FLVADAD: Thanks for the input! I’ll be sure to check out Villanova. </p>

<p>@par72: Thanks for your reply, I’m eager to check out Holy Cross.</p>

<p>Bump !</p>

<p>Your choices seem to make sense. Perhaps also look into Boston College, Villanova, and (as a safety) Fairfield</p>

<p>W&L, UVA, Columbia, and Georgetown are all reaches. Take a look at JMU in Harrisonburg, VA.</p>

<p>Don’t get me wrong JMU is a fine institution, but isn’t on par academically at all with schools in the same state such as UVa or W&L. I also think that it would be too diverse to call preppy.</p>
