College Search & Selection

<p>i feel like all the schools i like are high reaches for me (case western, u miami, etc) and i'm having a hard time deciding on matches. </p>

<p>-i'm a URM from a private catholic girls school in MO
-gpa: 3.99 weighted...don't know unweighted but it's really close to that. good upward trend, too: 3.53 (freshman)—> 4.1x (soph) —>4.2x (jr) (don't know exact numbers but that's a rough estimate)
-ACT: 30 as of now, but going to retake
-no APs because my school doesn't offer them until senior year
-decent ECs but nothing spectacular at all
-absolutely no way to pay a cent for college, so it has to give good financial/merit aid
-not completely sure exactly what i want to study/major in yet, but learning towards finance/economics/languages
-i prefer schools in major cities, preferably in the northeast</p>

<p>if i'm leaving out any useful information, let me know. any suggestions are much appreciated.</p>

<p>U Miami is not a high reach for you at all…lots of people from my school get in there with much less stellar stats than yours. </p>

<p>Anyway in terms of tuition I would say that a lot of the southern schools offer huge scholarships, think University of Alabama etc.</p>
