<p>I want to go to a SOUTHERN school (I'm from NY) (not like Tulane or Emory with a ton of northern kids just located in the south) with between 5,000 and 15,000 students. I'm double majoring in business and psychology.</p>
<p>My goal is to just make a list of decent schools that fit this description.
So far I have:</p>
<p>~ Duke
~ Vandy
~ UNC and UVA
~ College of Charleston
~ Auburn</p>
<p>What else? Thanks guys!!</p>
<p>College of Charleston and Auburn are on completely different academic levels than Vandy, UVA, Duke, etc. While at the latter schools one needs at least a 1400, I know many students who get in CofC and Auburn barely breaking 1000. </p>
<p>That might not matter to you, but just in case you didn't know I thought I would warn you. </p>
<p>I would look at Wake (around 4,000 but still in ACC) and William and Mary, too.</p>
<p>Christopher Newport. Recently got AACSB certification.</p>
<p>But more info about you could help us help.</p>
<p>boo duke.</p>
<p>hmm, lets see. i have no idea what your grades are but at the most competitive level would be schools you already mentioned (duke, unc, uva, vandy) and i'd add w&m to that list.</p>
<p>a step down in admissions i'd give you wake, usc, uga (might be too big)</p>
<p>and down more would be auburn, james madison, virginia tech, nc state, unc asheville</p>
<p>if you're looking at schools liek unc and uva, i would definately not recommend christopher newport - its basicly a nice community college.</p>
<p>Duke, Vandy, Wake, W&M, UVA, Davidson, UNC, W&L, UGA.</p>
<p>I wouldn't duke and UNC are very southern. But anyways you might want to look at a college that is not widely known but soild...Birmingham-Southern College</p>
<p>Southern Methodist U.</p>
<p>U of South Carolina (business)
U of Alabama-Birmingham (psychology and business)
Wesleyan College, GA (if you are a woman)
Sweet Briar College, VA (if you are a woman)
Salisbury University, MD (Frank Perdue School of Business)
U of Mississippi (business)
Mississippi State University</p>
<p>Clearly none of these colleges have an Ivy League reputation, but they have fine academic offerings nevertheless.</p>
<p>how about Clemson? Furman? Sewannee?</p>
<p>Ditto OrangeIsland and dke</p>
<p>I would highly reccomend UNC Chapel Hill # 27 among national universities.</p>
<p>awesome guys. well im a top student i think...4.0GPA UW, top 5% of class, 1370/2100 SAT (a little low but oh well), many ECs, presidencys, state and national awards, good essay writer...great recs....</p>
<p>so im looking for a decent school but not necessarily all dukes and UNCs. clemson was on my list since forever but with no airport and convenient transportation to speak of, that got chopped off. </p>
<p>think...similar to clemson. :-)</p>
<p>thanks!!</p>
<p>Auburn is similar to Clemson, I think, but it, too, is about two hours from the nearest useful airport. Alabama's business school is good, I hear. For something a bit more academically challenging, Georgia Tech is something you should look at. They are located in the middle of Atlanta right by a MARTA station, so transportation is not a problem. I don't know how good their business school is, though.</p>
<p>If you raise your SAT to a 1410 or get a 32 ACT you'd get a full-ride to Louisiana Tech (my lovely school). </p>
<p>Tech has about 12,000 students and a very Southern feel. I think 87% of Tech's students are in-staters...so yeah...it at least fits your description for size and location. Oh, and it's on the quarter system (that is a major plus for me, don't know about you).</p>
<p>The closest airport, though, is in Shreveport which is about an hour away.</p>
<p>Feenotype, the non-science programs at Georgia Tech are reportedly are not that strong, though Tech is trying to enhance its International Affairs department.</p>
<p>No one has mentioned Univ. of Richmond. Its on the small side but, the Robbins school of business is very highly rated.</p>
<p>because UR has a bagillion kids from the north - which the OP didn't want.</p>
<p>also, for what it is, its way over priced.</p>
<p>Rice is a bit smaller than you asked for, but it's a great school and on a level with Duke, etc.</p>
<p>Similar to Clemson: NC State, Virginia Tech, Auburn, LSU.</p>
<p>^ perfect suggestions. thank you.</p>
<p>any thoughts on NC state?</p>
