<p>I'm not really sure where I want to go, can anyone put out some good school suggestions that you deem fit for me?</p>

ACT: 26 (I know, I'm re-taking it.)
SAT Subject Tests: I'm taking a mathematics test as well as US History in November.

<p>I'm not sure where I want to go :( so please help. My dream school would be Vanderbilt University but I feel like the chances I'd be accepted there might be slim.</p>

<p>I've visited: Boston University, Delaware University, Boston College, and UMass, Stony Brook and have liked all of them.</p>

<p>Thank You for any incite provided :)</p>

<p>Keep Boston University, Delaware University, Boston College, and UMass, Stony Brook.</p>

<p>Add Northeastern University, Providence College, University of Connecticut.</p>

<p>You could look at the Hockey East schools.</p>

3

<p>University of Oregon
University of Vermont
University of Colorado - Boulder
Colorado State University
University of Denver
Oregon State
Gonzaga University
Seattle University
University of Georgia</p>

<p>Disagree about UConn. Storrs is in rural Connecticut, and he specifically doesn’t want a rural setting</p>

4

<p>What do you want to study? For hockey, if you’re not a recruited athlete, then are you just looking for a hockey team to watch? Or play in intramural?</p>

5

<p>Sorry to say, but Vandy is extremely unlikely given your scores. (Their average gps, I believe, is 4.)</p>

<p>U Mass seems like a good fit.
Maybe Clarkson or RIT if you’re into engineering/science</p>

6

<p>Was sort of looking at Northeastern, Vermont, and Oregon State is nice but they don’t have hockey.</p>

<p>I know, it kinda sucks about Vandy:&lt;/p>

<p>BeanTownGirl; I’m pretty good, like I would probably make some of the weaker D1 teams. I want to play, but if it’s intramurals or ACHA I wouldn’t mind as long as I am playing actively.</p>

7

<p>University of Denver has a top hockey team - and club hockey as well.</p>

8

<p>UC - Boulder would be a good fit.</p>

<p>I think providence would also be a great choice.</p>

9

<p>Thanks for suggestions guys I’m going to analyze all of them.</p>

<p>Hmmm, UC Boulder and U of Denver, I do enjoy skiiing!</p>
