Please chance me at the aforementioned schools and maybe match me with any others. I’d like to mainly apply to schools that meet 100% of demonstrated financial need. My sister goes to UF and I had quite a few family members graduate from Colgate if those alumni relations count for anything. Thank you!!

Maybe consider FSU, as I hear they have a good poli sci program and a pretty decent honors program as well, so it might be a great safety. All of your universities ought to be pretty good for what you’re going for. Maybe Lafayette, Wake Forest, Bates, Trinity, and F&M might be good ones to consider also.

I can attest that I know a bunch of people doing poli sci and PPEL (look into it) majors here at UR, and they are really enjoying it. Even though I’m more into other stuff myself, their program here is well-talked about and everybody is ambitious because it’s close to DC. On the other hand, a lot of other colleges are also great, so be sure to look into them individually.

Your ACT score, by the way, is MUCH better than your SAT. You might watch to pursue more options with the ACT if you can, as a slight raise to a 32 would be awesome. EC’s are fine. I think you stand a chance for all of them.

Best of luck

No I’ve decided not to go ED to any, doing EA for Richmond and Early Evaluation for Wellesley.

Hey. Just curious, with Richmond EA decisions now released and several months to consider your options, where are you now?
