<p>What is your home state? What can your parents afford?</p>

3

<p>My home state is New Jersey, and money isn’t an issue in looking for colleges</p>

4

<p>What’s the rest of your list? That might give us a better idea of what you’re looking for in a school.</p>

<p>What I’m looking for in a school? Well preferably in the city, but if I could get into a really great school in a rural area, I wouldn’t pass that up. Size isn’t too much of an issue either, I was just kind of asking CC what tier of schools my reaches should consist of.</p>

6

<p>Bump? Could I get some more opinions please?</p>

<p>Hi, I’s suggest looking at Tier 1/2 schools. You have great grades, you’re a minority with dual citizenship and you’ve taken honors classes. You’ve also got some great ECs. </p>

<p>Have you thought about Delaware U/UMiami/Ohio State/Syracuse/BC/BU/Forham/Rutgers?
They’re all great schools that you have the grades for. </p>

<p>If you like the city you’ll like Fordham. :)</p>

<p>Case Western would be a good match/low reach. U Dayton is a safety that would offer some scholarship money and it has a good crew club.</p>
