<p>okay, well i am no genious or anything of the sort... but i dont know what other schools to apply to... I live in wisconsin and have my heart set on going to uw madison... but im no sure shot... i got a 27 on my act's and have a 3.85 gpa.... i dont know what other schools to apply to because i cant just apply to one...so i need some other schools .. not too far away though.. in the midwest region.. doesnt need to have a specific major because i dont know what im going into yet... and nothing small.... so if anyone has any suggestion.. thanks!</p>
<p>The other U Wiscs and Marquette</p>
<p>i just didnt know which really... theres uw platteville.. WAY to close to where i live... then uw lacrosse... everyone and there brother from my town goes there... just doesnt appeal to me.. and no offeense to uw milwaukee.. but i think id be afraid to go there just because it sounds like theres alot of like.. gangs and stuff... like yeah i know all big cities have that... but that just seems like the worst in the state to me.... and i havent really learned much about any of the other universities or marquette?</p>
<p>maybe you'd like U Wisc La Crosse, Eau Claire, or Stevens Point</p>
<p>Marquette is mostly but not exclusively Roman Catholic. It is in Millwaukee but I am not sure whether it is in a bad section of Milwaukee.</p>
<p>your HS or library should have a copy of "Peterson's Four-Year Colleges" which lists about 2000 colleges. Use it to find colleges that match your search criteria, then look into them in more depth.</p>
<p>I liked books like princeton review's 361 best colleges and the fiske guide to colleges which go beyond stats and describe the charcter of the experience at each school</p>
