Help with searching for Colleges/Universities?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello. Well, I've only applied to three schools which include Rutgers NB, SUNY Brockport and Plattsburgh. I would like to apply to two more, but I have no idea where else I would like to go. I was wondering if you guys could help me out a bit? I would ask my counsellor for assistance, but he is no help at all.</p>

<p>Here's some back info to help:
~ In-State for New Jersey
~ 1530 for all SAT scores (490 CR, 520 M, 520 Writing) Improved from last time. Good Essay. Some Volunteering. Track during my Sophomore year
~ 3.6 Cumulative GPA. Took an two honours courses, half semester of AP, and I'm taking a full year of AP Lit right now. I've taken 4 years of Lang, 4 years of Math, 4 Years of Science, and 3.5 years for Social Studies.
~ African-American Asian Male
~ Would like to major in Nursing</p>

<p>Additional information to help find a best fit:
~ Of course, quality academics! Cheaper tuition.
~ Don't mind the weather, but not too hot.
~ My family is in New Jersey, so I would like to go to a school near or in the state of New Jersey.
~ A nice, clean campus. Decent surrounding city with some activities to do. Cheap parking permits
~ Diversity. It'd be nice to see different kinds of people from around the world, and across the country. Open and friendly students as well!
~ Would love to go to parties, but I'm definitely not one of those kids who'd want to get sloppy drunk. Just looking for a fun time.
~ Safety! </p>

<p>So what would be best for me?</p>

<p>Any recommendations?</p>

<p>High Match:
TCNJ</p>

<p>Safeties
Richard Stockton College of New Jersey
William Pateson University</p>

<p>Isn’t it a low match for me to get into TCNJ since the SAT scores require more?</p>

<p>Does any one else recommend somewhere else?</p>

<p>Try the nursing forum, maybe they would know more. [Nursing</a> Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/nursing-major/]Nursing”>Nursing Major - College Confidential Forums)</p>

<p>Also try using the search tool here on CC, if you put in your major, SAT, GPA and locations it will find “matches” for you.</p>

<p>I don’t think my parents will pay for a private university. Plus, why pay so much when I can receive the same education from a cheaper school?</p>
