Help me with my college search please!!

<p>I have a 4.4 GPA out of 5 (94 on 100 scale uw), I am 7th in my class of 300, & I got a 27 on my ACT and an 1880 on my SAT (580 CR, 610 M, & 690 W). I plan on taking both again. I have taken 3 college prep classes and the rest honors the past three years (I'm an incoming senior).
Freshman Year- 5 honors classes (4 A's 1 B), 1 college prep class (A)
Sophomore Year - 5 honors (4 A's 1 B), 1 college prep (A)
Junior Year- 6 honors (5 A's 1 B), 1 college prep (A)
Next year I'm taking 4 AP, 1 honors, & 1 college prep class
For ECs I dance daily, I'm in NHS and two foreign language clubs at my school. I'm also a dance teacher (as a volunteer) and do a lot of community service in my town.
Awards: student of the month, 2 medals for NLE, holy cross book award, 4 classroom medals, 7 classroom certificates, NJCL NHS for 3 yrs</p>

<p>I need to narrow down my list and know which schools are safety/target/reach/high reach
taking into account that some of these schools are test optional</p>

<p>Bates
Bowdoin
Colby
Connecticut College
Holy Cross
Stonehill
Brandeis
Lafayette
Lehigh
Skidmore
Fairfield
Gettysburg
Wesleyan U
Providence College </p>

<p>Help me please!!! & maybe suggest some good safety/target schools for me in the Northeast with about 1000-5000 students</p>

<p>If you could elaborate on the characteristics (aside from size of student body), for example urban vs. rural, you are looking for, it would be helpful. Also, please elaborate on your interests and prospective major.</p>

<p>Maybe Bucknell, Fordham, Villanova, TCNJ, Rowan.</p>

<p>I prefer rural and suburban and I am thinking about biology</p>

<p>Holy Cross is 1 mile from Worcester and just 45 miles from Boston. Brand new 60 million dollar science complex opened in January. Great reputation for premed and biology.</p>

<p>Take a look at Goucher, Ursinus, Juniata and St. Mary’s (a public LAC in MD on the Chesapeake-a lovely campus). Take a look at Smith and Bryn Mawr too.</p>

<p>In your current list, Bowdoin and Wesleyan are reaches. Brandeis is match/reach. Work on getting that CR score up! It’s not consistent with your your grades and W score.</p>

<p>If you look at the Common Data Set for each school, you will see how you compare to those students who were admitted. Google it.</p>

<p>Is money an issue? You should have little problem getting into many on your list but aid is another question.</p>

<p>You should check out Colby, Bucknell, Colgate, and Wheaton. Look more into Fairfield, Lafayette, Brandeis, Wellesley, and Lehigh. If you’re still having diffuculty you should check out these websites: [College</a> Search - Find colleges and universities by major, location, type, more.](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board).</p>

<p>no money is not an issue</p>
