Help me with my college list please!

@eternaldream Thank you for the reply! I know JHU and BU don’t require the SATs as a transfer student, but it may be a good idea to retake it for the other schools. What would be a good SAT score to get? How does one prepare for the SAT? I’m applying to the college of arts and science at Cornell.

@N’s Mom Money is a concern, surely. However, I want the best education and opportunities I can get. After a year at community college, I care less about money and more about what I can do at a university. My current location is completely lacking of interesting opportunities. As for constraints or criteria, I am looking for a place that offers excellent chances for undergraduates to partake in research and a well established club or community that has the same level of enthusiasm for Physics.
