Looking for colleges!!!!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey, I'm trying to help my brother in looking for some colleges.<br>
-He has about a 3.7 GPA (He is almost top 10% of his class)
-Has taken a bunch of honors classes
-He will take 2 APs his senior year.<br>
-Right now his PSATs are 1000 MV with a 600 Writing. I think he will probably wind up with an 1100-1150 MV and like a 650 writing so perhaps 1700-1800 overall.<br>
-He is in Spanish National Honor Society, XC, Key Club
-Bunch of Community service (maybe like 150-200 hours)
-Holds a daily drive at our church to help collect school supplies
-He holds a part-time job year-round since Freshman year</p>

<p>As for schools, the geographical location would probably be: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Virginia. He needs probably a more nurturing environment with a smaller student body, with kids who do like to learn. Huge D-1 Athletics would be nice, but are not necessary. If anyone has ANY suggestions, I would really appreciate it! Thank you!</p>

<p>App State and UNC Asheville immediately come to mind in NC. App is in a great college town with a lot of football/school spirit.</p>

<p>Arcadia, Susquehanna, Drew, Ursinus, and Juniata might fit.</p>

<p>Mary Washington, UMBC</p>

<p>I would float Sewanee as a reachier school. Wofford would also be a bit of a reach school for him. UNCA would probably be a more nurturing environment than App, given that App is 5 times UNCA's size. Western Carolina may be a good situation, especially if he can get his SAT up for entry into the Honors Program. As a backpacker, I'd prefer Cullowhee to Boone or Asheville.</p>

<p>U S M M A</p>

<p>Are there any smallish LAC type schools in PA to look at?</p>

7

<p>Franklin and Marshall </p>

<p>Or Washington and Jefferson.</p>

<p>Also, Grove City College is an excellent school, and has an engineering program that is supposedly good.</p>

<p>In WV there is Davis and Elkins.</p>

<p>Virginia has Roanoke College, Randolph-Macon, Emory and Henry</p>

8

<p>Muhlenberg, Gettysburg.</p>

<p>small school with huge D1 sports is sort of an oxymoron</p>
