Need Guidance in Which New York School

<p>" have one question though. What are the not so selective, if any, 100% FA met schools that I could have a chance in attending with my stats?"</p>

<p>You can research it yourself on CC online or buy a “Princeton Review” college guide. ALL the schools that 100%FA met are Highly competitive, ivy or equivalent. Olin and Coopers don’t even charge tuition, but they are as hard to get in as Harvard.</p>

<p>With act 24 and UWGPA 3.3 you have no chance even to try St. Olaf and Occidental, both are less competitive on the 100% FA met list.</p>

<p>I would say Occidental, Pitzer, St Olaf, Gettysburg are the least competitive to get into and if you come from the best high school in Ok then they may be able to overlook your ACT, but I’m not sure, they’re more 27-31 type of schools. Gettysburg and Pitzer are apparently test-optional too but check out whether it’s for FA applicants too - test-optional schools admit you on the strength of graded papers and/or essays you send them rather than test scores. If it were the case you wouldn’t send your ACT, just your high school record + the papers/essays.
The test-optional colleges below are typically “rich”, allowing them to offer good financial aid packages to the students they want. However they’re not “100%” schools.

Ripon, College of the Atlantic, Arcadia are all accessible but not sure about financial aid; try for Fairfield, Ursinus, Washington, Franklin&Marshall, Goucher, Gustavus Adolphus, Guilford, Juniata, Marist, Muhlenberg, Nazareth, Susquehanna (this one has a AACSB accredited business school), Stonehill, Whitworth. Investigate which ones seem the most appropriate for you, especially wrt financial aid (run the net price calculators on each website and apply to the cheapest). Marist, Muhlenberg, Fairfield, Ursinus, Washington, Goucher, would all bring you closer to NYC.

<p>“Value, reputation, cost…”. The three best schools in the NY are all private and outrageously expensive (NYU, Columbia and Cornell). So you are coming down a bit from that standard due to cost. The schools that you’ve mentioned are all good and since you’ve done your homework, all I can say is this, have a great time in NY. It will be a sea change from Tulsa. Embrace the change with open arms.</p>
