<p>Hi. I've been working on a college list for a long time. I'm having trouble finding schools that are matches. I would really appreciate some help.</p>
<p>Stats
white female
2260 780M 700CR 780W
33 ACT (I am taking this again and expect it to go up to at least a 34. I had a section that could have been much higher)
98 w gpa (only thing my school gives)
Interesting extracurriculars - I'm playing the hippie/outdoorsy card
I'm interested in Math and Computer Science.</p>
<p>In general, I like schools that are urbanish and show signs of original thought. Good public transportation is a must.</p>
<p>This is my list so far:</p>
<p>Super Reaches</p>
<p>Harvard - it's harvard.
Stanford - i haven't been here yet, but I think it will be my favorite.
MIT - EA - coolest place i've ever been.
Brown - i like the open curriculum and the school in general.
Yale - the campus is really flippin' cool.</p>
<p>Lesser Reaches
UChicago - EA - I like quirkiness.
Northwestern - Love, love, love the campus.
Johns Hopkins
Vanderbilt - A bit closer to home
Tufts - Really like its approach to education. It just seemed like a cool place. The campus was nothing special.</p>
<p>Matches
University of Washington - Haven't been yet.</p>
<p>Safeties
Boston University - it was ok. i'm not too attached to it.
South Carolina - extreme safety</p>
<p>I've been to every school on the list and know that I want to apply to them. Yes I want to apply to Northwestern and UChicago. My favorite school I've visited is MIT. I just loved the campus. The campus is an important factor for me. I like for colleges to be sort of open to the cities around them.</p>
<p>Just to give you an idea of places that I have visited but did not like:</p>
<p>Brandeis- Despised the campus' location and buildings =x I liked the people though.</p>
<p>Georgetown & BC - They felt super snobby. I realize that some of the colleges on my list also appear to be snobby, but these two felt especially snobby. They both were a bit too isolated too.</p>
<p>GWU - It was ok. It just felt dreary.</p>
<p>American - Felt like a mausoleum.</p>
<p>Amherst - Too small and isolated.</p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
<p>Also I'll most likely be national merit too, so if you think any colleges that award a lot of money to finalists that kind of match my description let me know.</p>
