<p>This is my first post, hoping for some input. I'm a senior, and I have a list of schools going but I'm nowhere near done with it. I have my safeties and targets, but I definitely need at least two more reaches and a few more targets as well. </p>
<p>Have a few solid extra-curriculers and volunteer work...I know my stats aren't very good but need some reaches anyway. Just throw anything out there that you think might be good.. I'd prefer a school with no less than 3,000 and no more than around 20,000. I don't want it to be a huge party/drug scene and it's a plus if people are sort of outdoorsy. I basically just want to find some schools where even though it may not be at the top to get into, people are still working hard and there are good academics. I know I didn't give many specifics but if anyone has any input, it would be much appreciated. :) oh and it can be anywhere in the country, but better if it's around the northeast and midwest.</p>
<p>I have the same dilemma! Looking for schools in the same area. I have a 3.6 uw gpa and 28 Act :-).
I also need more reaches!</p>
<p>I’d generally recommend these, but there are so many factors to consider!
The University of Rochester
Case Western Reserve University
University of Richmond
Boston College
Wake Forest University</p>
<p>These may be schools that will accept you, but do you know 100% that you have all costs covered? If so, then great. If not, then they’re not safeties. an unaffordable school isn’t a safety.</p>
<p>CU Boulder
University of Denver
SUNY Geneseo
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Albany
University of Wisconsin
University of Delaware </p>
<p>I’m honestly not interested in any of the SUNYs and Binghamton is a reach, but I needed to put them there because they’re state schools. I just need more of a variety… trying to find a reach liberal arts school or a smaller public school. Don’t know exactly what I want to major in but probably more towards the social sciences and not math/technology/science.</p>
