<p>any ideas?</p>
<p>What would you like to study?</p>
<p>I'm not completely sure, but probably History or Sociology. I would like to have the opportunity to double major, minor, or at least take courses in the visual arts (bonus points if they offer fashion design).</p>
<p>thats why Brown is currently my top choice--I love the school, a good size, in a small city and not too far away from nyc, and you can coregister, or even do the dual degree program with RISD.</p>
<p>NYU sounds suitable for you.</p>
<p>Boston College or Boston University sounds good for you (low match and safety, respectively).</p>
<p>UVA...Medium sized school, in a suburban/small city, and fairly close to larger cities like Richmond/DC</p>
<p>^ahhhh youre ridiculousss</p>
<p>I've been looking into those few but arent NYU and BU pretty large schools?
I like the idea of a bigger school, but I don't like the lack of academic advising and such that usually goes along with a larger student population. Thats why I think like 5,000-10,000 or so would be ideal</p>
<p>Yeah, BU is pretty big - something like 17-18k undergrads. Have you considered BC, though? It's in a suburb of Boston and has about 7,000 undergrads, if I recall correctly.</p>
<p>--University of Rochester (lowish match, has studio art)
--The College of New Jersey (matchy safety, has an art school but no fashion design)
--Quinnipiac U (safety, art but no fashion design)
--Fordham (matchy safety, doesn't seem to have a lot of art programs but I'm sure its location will give you tons of art/design opportunities)
--Purchase College (SUNY)</p>
<p>is ur 1450 score on the SAT out of 1600 or 2400?
if its out of 2400 then neither of the aforementioned schools are matches rather reaches at best.</p>
<p>^ You can tell it's out of 1600 because the OP listed their total score, too (2190).</p>
<p>-I'm considering BC...I'm not sure if I like the whole Catholic thing, considering I'm not Catholic, haha...or religous at all
-would American and Fordham be safeties or matches?
-unalove, thanks I'll look into those
-yeah the 1450 is out of 1600, 2190/2400</p>
<p>does anyone know of more school similar in size/feel of Brown? kind of like...a LAC but larger in size?</p>
<p>University of Cincinnati. Great design program.</p>
<p>I was thinking of mentioning it, but it sounds like it's too big for the OP.</p>
<p>I'd say American and Fordham would be safeties.</p>
<p>how about Emory, Rice, Tufts, and Wash U St. Louis in terms of reaches or matches?</p>
<p>Rice - low reach
Emory - high match
WUSTL - match
Tufts - match</p>
<p>That's how I'd rank them.</p>
<p>thanks
any other ideas would be welcome =)</p>
