<p>-bump-</p>

<p>anyone at allllll?</p>

3

<p>Indiana University - Bloomington would probably be a match. It would be a slight reach if he wants to go for business.</p>

4

<p>Thank you, but he's really not looking into that far away, like I stated.</p>

<p>More in NYS or any of the bordering states...</p>

<p>thanks for your input though!!!</p>

5

<p>I totally missed that, my B. He should probably look into Rutgers, though they're having a lot of problems right now.</p>

6

<p>really? what sorts of problems? I'm also looking into that school so I'm definately curious.</p>

7

<p>Penn State University- match/slight reach</p>

8

<p>Siena Loudonville NY safety
Stonehill Easton Mass - Match
Dickinson - Pa - Reach/match (males are more readily admitted)
Franklin and Marshall in Pa Match or very slight reach
St Michael's Colchester, Vermont ( safety/match)
Marist in CT (Safety/match)
Muhlenberg in Pa - match
Try running one of the college finders on Collegeboard or princeton review for more schools.</p>

<p>he may be able to pull off nyu with better SATs. the gpa is low, but 3 jobs and a sport may explain that to an extent. he probably can do the top state school in each of those states with the pennstate being the hardest to get into.</p>

<p>Daffymom has given you a great list. Definitely start there.</p>

11

<p>My cousin attends Rutgers and she recently spearheaded a movement to keep the women's college there from closing...Douglass College is its name, I believe.</p>

<p>Oh wow....</p>

<p>I made a post here as well...I'm not going to bump it, but I'm just posting a link in here because those who replied to this thread gave suchhh great advice. If someone could take the time to find some matches for me? Greatly appreciated! In addition to the schools I've listed in my thread, I'm also becoming greatly interested in Northeastern...although it's smack in the middle of the city, (which I said I didn't want) it's not in the middle of my city!
