<p>Okay, so i need a college list. You will probably laugh when you see my stats, but I never really had high ambitions. I just need a list of matches, safes, reaches, anything really. </p>

<p>thats it.</p>
<p>where do you live?</p>
<p>Also, what do you want to major in? What interests you--business, politics, engineering, literature, film studies, acting, history, the classics?</p>
<p>And what courses have you done well in?</p>
<p>And what can you and your parents afford?--it also limits your choices and helps us suggest colleges and universities for you. (also do you have brothers or sisters also in college, since those costs also have to be covered by your parents or financial aid).</p>
<p>Lastly, where in the country are you intested in--far away or close to your parents--warm weather or cold--and where do you eventually want to work? New York, Boston, LA--or other metropolitan. Denver, Seattle or other outdoors kind of places with scenery close-by. Small towns or big cities--</p>
<p>These are the kinds of things that matter in the choices--and if you can figure these out--the colleges that are best for you just kind of pop out of the background. (and can be chosen by people on this site).</p>
<p>Good luck with the hard questions, above--</p>
<p>I do well in english, but i think i am going to major in psychology, minor in philosophy. I would like to stay west coast, but im open enough to elsewhere. i cant really afford to be picky. </p>
<p>Money is somewhat of an issue, but only really expensive schools like USC,Santa Clara etc. but i couldnt get into any of the real expensive schools anyways so it all works out. </p>
<p>I live in California.</p>
