<p>so... i'm applying to princeton university early decision because that's where i really wanna go. i have a shot but of course nothing is certain. and i don't even know what other colleges to apply to. i think regular decision my chances at another ivy are fairly poor. what i need is a college within driving distance of staten island, new york (id say no more than 3 hours away), with a decent medical school admissions rate, and cheaper than the average 30k private university. also, a place with a nice campus where i can get a good education and generally enjoy the undergraduate experience. does anybody have any suggestions? it would help a lot and i wouldnt appreciate any advice so much. thanks :)</p>
<p>If you have a poor chance at ivys RD then you have a slim chance at P ED. Your geographic and financial limitations give you a starting point. Why don't you make a list of schools that fit that criteria first. Med school admission rates are highest at LAC's I believe. But sounds like you need to identify your safety school.</p>
<p>Vassar, NYU, U Penn, Columbia, SUNY Stonybrook, Rutgers, Swarthmore, Haverford, Wesleyan ?, Colgate, Hamilton, Bard</p>
<p>what is an :AC?</p>
<p>LAC** i meant</p>
<p>Liberal Arts College</p>
<p>well the only college less than 30K on that list is stony brook.</p>
<p>How about The College of New Jersey? I don't know about oos tuition though but it has to be less than the privates.</p>
