Is this a good college list for me?

College Search & Selection
1

FSU, UF, UNC, UVA, Wake Forest, Emory, Vanderbilt, GW

I like mid-size to large schools that aren’t in a super urban area, but also aren’t in the middle of nowhere. I can’t go too far north because I really can’t handle the cold. Any other suggestions for schools I should add?

-I live in FL
-4.0 unweighted GPA, 5.8 weighted (that’s how my high school does it, it would definitely be different recalculated for college)
-33 act
-1 AP class sophomore year, 4 junior year, 4 senior year
-involved in theater program at my high school, member of international honor thespian society, competed in multiple theater competitions and won awards
-Vice President of an organization at my school called Why Define Us? - a group that mentors middle school girls on topics such as body image, self confidence, social media, and coming of age
-volunteer life guard for a summer at the Y
-volunteer at Give Kids the World- a place where make a wish kids stay with their families when their wish is to go to Disney
-regular babysitting

I’m glad you have some good options in-state where you can use your Bright Futures. How much can your family afford each year for college?

@Erin’s Dad I definitely wouldn’t be able to go OOS without some financial aid!

UF and FSU are your best options because of affordability.

OP, Emory, Vandy and GW are urban

Then look at some of the options here: http://automaticfulltuition.yolasite.com/ UNC and UVA promise to meet need but are very hard to get into. Run the Net Price Calculator on each school’s web site and talk to your parents about the answers.

Erin’s Dad is right: Run the NPC’s with your parents and see what is affordable. If you get a budget, then post it back here and we might be able to come up with some more options for you.
