<p>If you want to stick around TN, try Vanderbilt. It might be a reach, but you do stand a chance, especially if you do better on the ACT than the SAT.</p>

<p>Hmm other schools...if you want to be bold, the University of Southern California is always a good private, because they have so much money to throw around for scholarships. There's NYU and Syracuse, Carnegie Mellon, and probably endless others I could name.</p>

<p>What are your interests? What classes do you enjoy in school, and do you have a possible major? In what location would you like the school to be -- rural, urban, suburban, and any particular state?</p>

<p>You really need to give more information than just your stats.</p>

<p>Yeah, I want to major in Pre-med or Biology. I kinda like science and like an urban/ maybe Subunban location. So far my public schools are Michigan, Ucla, and ohio. thxs</p>

<p>Emory, Tufts, Boston U, Case Western, Haverford, Claremont McKenna, Occidental, Reed</p>

<p>Lehigh, Lafayette, Bucknell . . .</p>

<p>I would also recommend to you Fordham University.</p>

10

<p>Case Western? Carnegie Mellon?</p>

11

<p>Carnegie Mellon and Johns Hopkins are great choices. Both are top tier elite and had the top increases in applicants last year with 23% and 20%.</p>

<p>Are you looking for merit money or will you qualify for need based aid or doesn't it matter?</p>
