Help me find likely schools please!!!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am a high school senior from NYC, I have a 3.9 unweighted GPA and an SAT score in the 2000 range. I am involved in a lot of extracurriculars and have lived abroad for many years. I have done a lot of college visits, but unfortunately most of the schools I am considering are in the reach range. Can anyone help add schools to my list that are similar to the ones mentioned but easier to get into with good financial aid and scholarship money? Especially warm weather schools since almost all the schools on my list are freezing! I would be open to Religious schools but not all women's colleges. </p>

<p>Bowdoin
Vassar
Williams
Kenyon
Haverford
Swarthmore
St Olaf
Skidmore
Connecticut College
Pomona
Davidson</p>

<p>Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your help</p>

<p>You have some great names on your list but many of them are in the reach category, or will offer limited aid based on your stats. Also, most of them are colder weather.</p>

<p>If you like Davidson, and want a better chance of financial aid or lower tuition, you may want to also look at Elon in North Carolina and Furman in South Carolina.</p>

<p>OP, what kind of FA do you think you’ll warrant - do you know your EFC? I believe Alfred University offers some good merit aid.

<p>What about some of the other Quaker colleges? [Quaker-originated</a> Colleges and Universities](<a href=“http://www.quaker.org/colleges.html]Quaker-originated”>Quaker-originated Colleges and Universities) I know a student with stats similar to yours who got a whomping big scholarship to Guilford. </p>

<p>Or more Lutheran ones including Wagner right near you on Staten Island?

<p>You may feel a particular attraction to Washburn :slight_smile: :</p>
