College Search & Selection

<p>I'm currently a junior in HS and am attempting to decide what schools to apply to. Here's me:
GPA 4.1 weighted and 3.9 unweighted.
2100 SAT's (720 math, 680 critical reading, 700 writing).
Subject tests: History 710 and French 690.</p>

<p>EC's:
Started my own club through the school and raised over $10,000 for the organization (through fundraising) that the club is affiliated with.
Played viola at Carnegie Hall with my school, also in the all state orchestra junior year and most likely again senior. I have been playing since 5th grade.
Member of the variety tennis team since sophomore year, hoping to be team captain for senior, on JV freshman year
Visit New Orleans every summer and build houses for Katrina Victims.
Historian for the art club.</p>

<p>I want to apply to:
Northeastern University
Fordham University
Brown University
New York University
Columbia University
George Washington University</p>

<p>On another thread that I began, a lot of people were telling me that the only reach schools I had were Columbia and Brown and that I should have no problem being accepted into the other schools. Does anyone have any suggestions for schools I should apply to? </p>

<p>I'm looking for medium to large schools (5,000+) near or in cities. Size of the cities doesn't matter (for example I consider Ithaca to be a city if that makes sense). Preferably somewhere not too hot (nothing in Alabama, Louisiana, etc)</p>

<p>In the past, people have recommended I apply to:
Georgetown
American
UChicago
Northwestern
UCLA</p>

<p>Does anyone have any other suggestions? Please let me know. Thanks :)</p>

<p>I suggest you try to visit some or all of your choices in person. Additionally, you should narrow the list down based on schools that offer a great program in what you want to study. It’s advisable to apply to a select list, instead of the buckshot method you are describing (applying to too many schools and overwhelming yourself).</p>

3

<p>Boston University (a good city school)
Boston College
University of Pennsylvania
USC
Loyola Marymount University</p>

<p>Good luck. Hopefully this helps. :)</p>

<p>well I think you’d need to decide on at least a general field of study so you can pick for the program. your stats are pretty good but without knowing what you want to study it’s tough to make any recommendations</p>

<p>Below is a good list to consider with your stats. I would thrown in your state flagship as a safety.</p>

<p>Boston College
Northeastern University
Fordham University
New York University
Georgetown University
George Washington University
