<p>Hi all,
So, I've been working this past year (as a HS Junior) to piece together a list of colleges that I'm interested in applying to. I'm a ski racer, so I've been mostly concerned with the New England region. I hit up a bunch of schools in the area, as well as New York and Pennsylvania, but I fear that I'm closing the list too early & I'm missing a few!</p>
<p>So far I have on my list:
Colby, Bates, Bowdoin, Middlebury (reach), Hamilton, Connecticut College, Lehigh, Skidmore, and UVM (safety)</p>
<p>I have a 4.31 Weighted GPA, however, my SAT scores are just barely skimming the 2000 mark (I plan on retaking). </p>
<p>Does anyone have any ideas as to more colleges I should look at?
Thanks!</p>
<p>understandable, yet note the fact that I plan to retake the SAT’s to improve my critical reading score (HUGE outlier within my scores), and as of now, my GPA is more than suitable for most of the schools on the list. Also note- numerous leadership positions & sports achievements.</p>
<p>What are you looking for in a school?
Greek life?
Ideal size?
Social atmosphere?
Surrounding area?
Liberal? Conservative? Don’t care?
What do you want to major in?</p>
<p>For the most part, I’ve been looking at schools on the smaller side of the spectrum, however, I have no objection to going a little larger.
Greek life isn’t important to me. I’m a very social person & enjoy partying, but I’m also content with just small get-togethers.
As for surrounding area… I’d prefer NOT to be in the boondocks… however, if the school is surrounded by a medium-sized town with a nice downtown, that will work for me
I’m looking to major in psychology & have a neuroscience background.</p>
