Need suggestions

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi people! i need suggestions for colleges. my parents have already made my "college list", but i still want to it. however, i have no idea what to add.</p>

<p>Here's some stuff about me:
Im going to be a senior in september
Grades: not amazing about 3.5-3.6. i wish i hadnt messed up freshman year. my grades should be going up a bit by janurary next year, if i dont mess up my 3 AP classes</p>

<p>APs:</p>

<h2>AP World History (I got 4)</h2>

<p>AP Physics B
AP Calc BC
AP Stat</p>

<p>SAT: highest grade 2000: 650 R, 700 M, 650 W
ACT: 31</p>

<p>My intended major is Cryptography, but since no school has it, im not sure what to go for. I want to learn as much as I can about math and computer science, but i would rather learn math first.</p>

<p>I want to go as far away as from home as possible, but my parents wont let me out of NY except for Boston, and Pennsylvania. I like large places with the building close to each other so i can walk when i want to but get to class quickly</p>

<p>RPI?
SUNY Stony Brook?</p>

<p>Gee, I guess I’m pushing Case Western tonight, because it sounds great for you (huge focus on math/science, flexible majors, may let you design your own). Only problem is that it is in Ohio, but still, it’s only about 80 miles from NY if I remember correctly and about 30 from Pennsylvania, so who knows? Cleveland is pretty cool and they may like it. </p>

<p>Good Luck!!!</p>

<p>I think West Virginia University has programs in intelligence and cryptography.</p>
