Please help me decide where to apply RD

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I've been so apathetic throughout this whole college search. I've only visited about 6 or 7 colleges, and haven't found a school that I <em>love</em> or that I'm dying to go to (which is stressing me out considering regular decision applications are due in about a month and I don't know where I should apply).</p>

<p>So far, I've applied to Georgetown, UChicago, and Northeastern early (and my state flagship as a safety). I'll hear back from those most likely sometime next week.</p>

<p>Generally I'd like to have a school in an urban setting and with a strong science program (planning on majoring in biology or public health). Outside that, I'm pretty flexible though. Any suggestions of schools I should consider?</p>

<p>General Information:
- ACT: 35 (34 science, 35 reading, 34 math, 35 writing)
- SAT II: 750 biology, 740 math 2
- GPA: 4.04 UW (with A+ being 4.3)
- APs: bio (5), euro (5), micro/macro (5,5), literature, AB calc, spanish, psych (currently taking the last four)
- extracurriculars: pretty standard (varsity track/cross country, officer for 2 clubs, ect)
- 150+ hours of community service; started a running program at a local B&G club (volunteering)
- recommendations and essays are great</p>

<p>Sorry for how long this post is. Any and all help is appreciated!</p>

<p>nice resumé. congrats. is money a consideration?</p>

<p>Penn, Vandy, GT, Emory, UMN-TC, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Berkeley. Suburban: one of the Claremonts, UMD-CP, Brandeis, Duke, Northwestern, UVA. You’ll have to check for deadlines on these. That’s one thing I won’t even try to hold in my head.</p>

<p>Tulane, Pitt, U. of Miami, BU, and GWU are all safeties or low-matches for you. </p>

<p>Toss UMD-CP into that bunch if you live in MD, but in each case a safety must be affordable and only you can determine that.</p>
