I have no idea where to apply

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a rising senior and I have no idea where to apply because I do not know what I want to major in. Secondly, I cannot choose schools because I do not know which schools are my reaches, matches, and safeties. I looked up the top 75 universities and top 25 liberal schools and have eliminated many of them. I live in NJ so I eliminated anything too far. Im willing to stay on the east coast and maybe till ohio. Anyways these are my stats so can anyone tell me what school rankings could be my reaches, safties, matches. Also, can anyone recommend schools that give good aid? Thanksss</p>

<p>General Info:
School is an okay public school. A few students each year go either ivies or schools that have similar prestige. I am not sure what my rank is but I was in the top 10 percent and my GPA rose so I'm guessing I moved up even more. I am Korean and need aid. </p>

<p>Academics:
GPA: 4.2-4.3 UW
Rank: 1st Decile and there are about 250 students in my class
SAT: 660/660/710 and 730/670/660 (I know my scores are low but I have been doing well on my practice tests and I am predicitng around 2200 although I can never be sure how I will do on the actual test. Also, my scores are actually really high compared to other students)
SATII : 740 US History 700 BIO RE (I took US History a second time but i got a 690-_-) I may take another subject test
AP Tests: 4s on US and World History
In my freshmen year, I only had history honors becasue school policy didn't let me take the other honor classes. I didn't complete some course in middle school. Nevertheless, I took honors classes in my junior and sophmore years except the foreign language classes. I took one ap in sophomore year and one ap junior year. Im taking three this year.
Award: National Latin Exam recognition. I got the second highest award. I forget waht it was called
Honor Roll 3 years and expect to senior year</p>

<p>EC and Community Service:
Baseball: 12 years. Made the team all four years. Most ppl get cut. Im not the greatest player but still. Im also playing varsity my senior year. Im hoping I can write my essay on baseball. It's my passion and I put in all my effort just to be able to play. I just love this sport and I learned alot. Hopefully, I can think of something unique.

<p>There are a few things you should consider. Do you want to be near a city? Is it okay to be in the middle of nowhere? Public or private university? Do you want small class sizes? Also, you should probably at least pick some programs that you have some sort of interest in, and then research schools that are reputable in one or more of those areas. </p>

<p>If you really have NO idea what sort of institution you want, you should definitely go and visit some schools that are either completely city schools, suburb schools, etc. Since you’re from NJ (I’m from Jersey) I recommend you look at Villanova (near a city), NYU (emerged in the city), TCNJ (suburban), Lehigh, and maybe some schools in Boston if you’re willing to go that far. After visiting schools that are in very specific locations, you can probably narrow down your choices a lot. You have very good scores and ECs, and a very decent chance at getting into a very good college. Definitely go visit some and then create a list!</p>

<p>Well, my goal is to stay around here because I need to take care of my parents. The farthest I could probably go is a 6 hour drive. I visited BC and BU and I really liked BC but it gives very limited aid so thats out of the picture. </p>

<p>I’m not looking to apply to most of these schools but is Darthmout, Uni. chicago,northwestern,washing uni in st. lois,duke, cornell,brown,notre dame out of reach for me?</p>

<p>Also, are schools like emory, tufts, wake forest, university of NC,lehigh, brandeis matches?</p>
