<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm going into my Jr. year in High School and I figure now is the time to start making my college list. Obviously High School isn't over but I think I can make a fairly accurate prediction as to what's in store for me.</p>

<p>Honor's Diploma
GPA: 3.8 unweighted, 4.1 Weighted
14-15 AP Courses mostly 3 and 4's on tests. Plus multiple Honor's Course's
LANG: SPAN. IV, FRENCH II
SAT: 1900-2200
ACT: 29-30
EC'S: Sound Board Operator for school and community theater, 4 year tenure as Student Adviser to the towns Public Art's Commission, Science Fair award at Intel Sci. Fair, small amount of volunteer work for local politician</p>

<p>When searching for a college I would prefer a large college, in a large city. I would like the university to have a good Poli. Sci and English department. </p>

<p>There's bound to be some college that I've overlooked, so any suggestions are much appreciated. </p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>What is your home state? What can your family afford for school?</p>

<p>Look at Boston University, George Washington U, NYU, and USC. They are all big, have a wide range of options, and in major cities.</p>

<p>Also, look into Pittsburgh.</p>

<p>I’m middle-class from Oregon, both parents went to UC Berkley.</p>

<p>Also, thank you for the list, I’ll look into them. I was thinking NYU previously.</p>

<p>Obviously UO and OSU. You can get good Poly Sci and English at most universities. NYU will offer you very little money. Have your parents saved $200K for your education?</p>
