College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi! </p>

<p>So I have a list of 7 schools I'm applying to currently:
Yale
Brown
Tufts
UVa
Michigan
American
Northwestern</p>

<p>Michigan and American are the two schools I'm pretty confident I'll get into. I'm looking for more schools to apply to - they don't have to be likelies but obviously no more Ivies or anything. More schools like Tufts, UVa and Northwestern would be great!</p>

<p>I'm looking to study international relations and gender studies. </p>

<p>Scores:
35 ACT
800 US History Subject Test
760 Math II Subject Test
700 Literature Subject Test
227 PSAT
Taking the SAT on Oct. 5 </p>

<p>My weighted GPA is a 4.56, UW is a 3.91
Classes this year are AP English Lit, AP Bio, AP European History, AP Statistics and AP Economics and I'll take 10 APs by the time I graduate (others are Psych, US History, Calc AB, Spanish and English Lang.)</p>

<p>I can also give info on my extracurriculars if that would help you.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!! I can give any extra info if needed, just trying to expand my list.</p>

<p>What is your planned major? Financial situation? What do you like about the schools already on your list?</p>

<p>I added my intended major. In terms of financial situation - any aid would be great, but we can pay whatever if necessary. For the schools on my list - I like that they a mid-sized, all have a more liberal artsy feel than other schools, good campus life, mostly near big cities but have independent campuses.</p>

4

<p>Are you female? What about Wellesley? A high match for you, I would guess.</p>

5

<p>Wellesley is a bit too small for my taste.</p>

6

<p>UMich is not mid-sized. Georgetown might be a good match (not a safety at all). George Washington would probably be likely.</p>

7

<p>NYU
Syracuse
George Washington
Maryland
Pittsburgh</p>

<p>These schools show up on Foreign Policy magazine’s “Ivory Tower” rankings of strong IR programs. They are in the NE, mid-to-large sized, and less selective than the Ivies.</p>
