<p>Hello. I am currently a junior and I am getting into the well-known struggle of finding a college. The only place I have in mind so far is Emerson, but I realize I need to apply to more than one college. Here are my stats...</p>

PSAT: 670V/630M/610W (Took the SAT on Jan. 28)</p>

<p>CURRENT AP'S:

-Small-Audition Ensemble.
-Mixed Chorus</p>

<p>BAND:

<strong>I'm pretty sure I'll be drum major next year.</strong></p>

<p>HONORS:

(pretty much the usual)</p>

<p>I am interested in majoring in something in/around the field of marketing. I'm not rich, but the cost isn't really a factor. Although, a scholarship would be more than welcome. I'm not sure what else to mention, but if you have any questions just let me know.</p>

<p>**Tidbit: I'm generally interested in small schools in big cities, but all suggestions are welcome.</p>

<p>WHERE DO I BELONG? :)</p>

<p>Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?</p>

<p>You have to comment now...it's Pink Floyd!</p>

3

<p>uhh......<em>nod</em></p>

4

<p>Only because I like Pink Floyd, especially Comfortably Numb ;)</p>

<p>Good shot at Emerson, decent/good PSATs, Gpa and E.C.s. I would be surprised if you didn't get in.</p>

5

<p>Can you guys tell me good fits/safeties/reaches?</p>

6

<p>Emerson is probably a safety for you</p>

<p>Look at Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Duke as reaches </p>

<p>UNC CH would be a safe match</p>

7

<p>Isn't UNC CH much harder to get into than Wake Forest?</p>

<p>Anywho, Keep'em coming!</p>

8

<p>your in state, so no its not at all</p>

9

<p>Case Western is a relatively small school in a big city (Cleveland) and would likely give you money, but I don't know about going there for marketing. That would be a match for you, maybe a safe match.</p>

10

<p>Thanks all who have posted...</p>

<p>More responses would be great...this is my life, people!</p>

11

<p>no more?:(</p>

12

<p>Here's a bunch of schools that would probably be slight reaches and matches:</p>

<p>Kenyon
Connecticut College
Boston College
University of Richmond
Univ. of Rochester
NYU
Lehigh
Case Western
University of Michigan
Trinity
Bucknell
UCLA
U of NC, Chapel Hill
Dickinson College
Gettysburg College
Lafeyette
Franklin and Marshall
College of NJ
Sarah Lawrence
Union
Skidmore
U of C San Diego
Syracuse</p>

<p>Don't know what your looking for, but the list includes big univerisities, small liberal arts colleges, colleges in urban, suburban, and rural settings etc.</p>

13

<p>final bump</p>

14

<p>above list...</p>

<p>bump those sats over 2000 and you could apply to ivy league schools...</p>

15

<p>bob...are you serious?</p>

16

<p>I lied...bump</p>

17

<p>im dead serious man...youre a black male from NC. affirmative action is alive and well in colleges and so I could definitely see you getting into a great school (northwestern, emory, cornell, ext) if you can bump your SAT score above 2000. A black girl in my school got into Princeton this year early decision and without legacy with a 1950...it happens.</p>

18

<p>thanks! that gives me a lot of hope.</p>
