<p>Trying to make a list of schools that might be a good “fit.” Relevant stats are below but feel free to ask questions to get further info</p>

<p>Female
White
Jewish (not religious)</p>

<p>UW GPA 3.6, with lots of AP classes, well-respected, huge suburban HS
ACT - 29
EC – nothing out of the ordinary – some volunteer work, teach Sunday school, temple youth group
No hooks of any kind (no URM or legacy or poverty)
Assume good recommendations and essays</p>

<p>Geographic – open to all but prefer four seasons. Prefer a “real” campus over an urban setting</p>

<p>Size – 5000 – 20000, with strong preference for the 10,000 range</p>

<p>Big greek scene is kind of a negative. Not a heavy partier (although certainly want parties available), don’t need big-time sports.</p>

<p>Area of study - still undecided but likely some area of liberal arts - not engineering</p>

<p>Cost - not a big issue</p>

<p>Public or Private - I'm conflicted - if you're paying OSS tuition, why not go private?</p>

<p>So, I know it’s a pretty wide-open question but feel free to toss out your thoughts, including whether you think your suggested school is a reach, match or safety</p>

<p>Thanks all.</p>

<p>Should have noted - currently a junior. So, a bit early rather than late</p>

3

<p>My son attends Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks, nice school, lots of financial aid, great weather. His GPA was 3.78</p>

4

<p>Schools to Consider:</p>

<p>Boston U
Boston College
Reed
UWisconsin
Tulane</p>

5

<p>These are the ones I came up with in the 7000-13000 range and where your ACT score would be at least above the 25th percentile. I don’t think they’ll all match your Greek requirement and Case Western is known for engineering. </p>

<p>Case Western Reserve University
College of William and Mary
Villanova University
Lehigh University
American University
Santa Clara University
Loyola Marymount University
Southern Methodist University
University of Denver
University of San Diego</p>
