what are some good suggestions for safety/target/reach colleges for someone with my criteria and scores? Thanks!
me: white female on west coast. I’m willing to look at colleges anywhere in USA
gpa: 3.7 unweighted. (also unranked at school)
ACT: 31
extra curricular: tennis team (4 years), women in leadership council (2 years), yearbook, currently editor (4 years), fashion internship, Women in stem club (4 years), volunteer at women’s shelter (4 years) 100+ hours, etc
COLLEGE:
school: private, co-ed, four year. preferably equally liberal/conservative, or more liberal.
price= any is fine
where: city or large town with stuff to do
greek life: none / has little affect on social life
classes: preferably has a business school, and some kind of art/design minors
student to teacher ratio: smaller is better
size: 4,000-10,000 undergrads. preferably not part of a consortium
campus: pretty and picturesque. “traditional” campus feel
Trinity University in Texas, Fordham in NYC, Wellesley in Boston and Barnard in NYC if you don’t mind all-women’s colleges, Franklin & Marshall in Pennsylvania, Lafayette in Pennsylvania, Reed in Portland.
Chapman in CA is good too, but has a larger greek life.
Vanderbilt in Nashville and SMU in Dallas – note that these 2 do, however, have very active Greek life. Vandy would be a reach, but SMU would be solid.
University of Richmond, Lehigh, Rochester, Case Western, Babson, Tulane and William & Mary. There are others but with a 3.7 GPA, these are some good options.
