Late getting started!

Hi everyone,

My daughter, E., is an incoming high school senior. My wife and I are woefully aware we are delinquent in our college search process. Just looking for recommendations on how to ramp up the process.

E.'s demographics:
GPA: 3.5 weighted with mostly honors courses/ three AP courses so far

SAT: 1340 (retaking in October)

Extracurriculars: High level (junior national times) swimmer. Contacted by multiple D1-D3 colleges (Haven’t responded to most because out of our selection area). Talented artist with multiple regional awards

Preference: E. has no major choice yet, but science is probability. Within 4-5 hour drive of Philadelphia metro area. Mild conservative over liberal environment. She’s thinking large vs small school. Competitive swim team (low on my list of priorities).

Any suggestions on a good starting point for us? Hoping to narrow down to 5 or 6 schools by 9/1 and schedule visits in the month of September.
