<p>1-Good program in psychology or cognitive science
2-Being in a big city or near a big city
3-Not super cold weather (i dont mind snowy winters, but i really hate very very cold places)
4-I'm more of a music artsy guy than a football athletic guy, so i want a more artsy type school
5-I dont care if its Liberal art college or University
6- 2.000-20.000 students
(7-Good Dorms)
(8-Beautifull Campus)</p>
<p>GPA: 3.4-3.5
SAT: 2100</p>
<p>Go!</p>
<p>Finances? …</p>
<p>Rhodes may be a reach with your GPA but your SAT helps. It may be slightly too small (1800 students this fall). Otherwise, it’s got good psych and neuroscience majors with a few cognitive folks, it’s in the heart of Memphis, winter lows are typically around 30*, the art scene is definitely stronger than the football scene, good dorms and a beautiful campus.</p>
<p>Reed College in Portland!!!</p>
<p>We need more info… :)</p>
<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>How much will your family pay? </p>
<p>If you need financial aid, do you know how much you’ll qualify for?<br>
(Also, most schools don’t meet need.)</p>
<p>Is that your weighted GPA? What is your ranking?</p>
<p>(I think the GPA might be too low for Reed. Rhodes or College of Charleston might be good. Tulane - but GPA might be too low.)</p>
<p>Actually, i’m applying as an international student (the reason its not the international section is because its a college search thread)
My GPA is 3.5 , in my country, Greece, there is no such thing as AP or Honored courses, so there’s no weighted-unweighted grades. But if you would like a “translation” of my grade to usa’s grading system, my grade would be 3.5 unweighted. Also, keep in mind, that since the educational system is much different , admission officers rely more on the SAT’s . The grading system is just really really different here.
I dont want any financiall aid, my family can pay all freight (up to 40.000$ a year tuition, and that may give me a slight boost against other internationals that need aid)</p>
<p>Up to $40,000 will limit you somewhat, although there are many excellent schools with costs of attendance at that or lower.</p>
<p>what i mean is 40.000$ TUITION only, not the whole cost . Seriously, how many colleges are there that have tuition over 40k?Max cost i’ve seen is 42k</p>
<p>I was thinking UCSB? or UMiami? USanFrasisco? URochester? they seem really cool places.</p>
<p>Rochester is a top-flight school but might be a bit cold for your preferences. They do have an extensive underground tunnel system that links many of the buildings, though.</p>
<p>University of Puget Sound in Tacoma next to Seattle. It is a largish LAC, meaning about 2,000 students.</p>
<p>Why not just google ‘best undergraduate psychology programs in the US’ and see what comes up. There are lots of rankings but certain schools will appear on most lists - then look for those in urban areas. And check the common data set for each school.</p>
<p>Here’s an example: [Ranking</a> of U.S. Undergraduate Psychology Programs](<a href=“http://www.socialpsychology.org/gunder.htm]Ranking”>Ranking of U.S. Undergraduate Psychology Programs)</p>
<p>When you find a few that sound good, come back and ask about the culture- more artsy vs. more athletic.</p>
<p>Vassar College, 80 miles north of NYC? Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota would be great if you could handle the winter.</p>
<p>University of Oregon sounds right up your alley–I go there and psych is a big deal. UC Santa Barbara would be good too, but it might be a bit of a reach with your GPA.</p>
<p>I really like Vassar college… i mean allot, but sadly enough i wont be taking SAT Subject tests. Just the SAT I</p>
