<p>what do you think?</p>
<p>Hey there... it sounds like you have a good start. What follows are, as requested, some more suggestions of places to look. Bear in mind that some of the following schools require you to submit SAT II scores, so if you're interested in any of those, you'll need to take some.</p>
<p>REACH: Boston College (MA), University of Virginia (VA)</p>
<p>SEMI-REACH: New York University (NY), Villanova University (PA)</p>
<p>GOOD FIT: Gettysburg College (PA), George Washington University (DC), Fordham University (NY), American University (DC), Boston University (MA)</p>
<p>LIKELY: Muhlenberg College (PA), Bentley College (MA), Northeastern University (MA), Providence College (RI), University of Delaware (DE), Loyola College (MD), Virginia Tech (VA), Drexel University (PA)</p>
<p>SAFETY: The College of New Jersey (NJ), Rowan University (NJ), Hofstra University (NY), Temple University (PA)</p>
<p>Penn State seems like a great match for you. I've heard that the Smeal College of Business is great. You'd be a shoe in for main campus. Maryland looks like a nice match for you too. </p>
<p>Look into Villanova too. Its business is very well-respected and competitive. Although, I don't know what you're looking for in a college... public/private, expensive, prestigious, scholarships.</p>
<p>University of Pittsburgh would be a nice match as well. what state are you from?</p>
<p>I havnt even begun to think about SAT II's but B.C. was actually my dream school so i'm considering taking them with BC in mind. Would taking both math SAT II's look bad?
My guidance counselor actually recommended Villanova, Lehigh Penn State RU, UMD and a lot of public schools cause i'd like something with a solid athletic program. But theres some major downers about those schools: Villa "no fun" PSU is in the middle of nowhere Lehigh is the size of my h.s. Rutgers is down the street from me.</p>
