Please suggest some schools for me!

College Search & Selection

<p>Hi guys, I originally posted in the Chances section, but only one person actually chanced me...so maybe I'm reaching too high? Could you guys please suggest some matches/reaches for me? I'm already decided on the two instate safeties I'm going to apply to.
And I'm still a bit iffy on what I want to major in...either finance or chemical engineering? Two totally different topics, I know I know. >.<</p>

<p>MY STATS:
I am a Chinese female living on the East coast.
SAT first time: ...1910. CR and W were both in the 500's.
SAT second time: ...2100. 670 CR, 740 M, 690 W with an 8 essay
SAT first time: ...2270. 670 CR, 800 M, 800 W with a 12 essay</p>

<p>ACT (one time--is there any way I can show that I've only taken it once?): 35 composite; 36 English, 35 math, 33 reading, 36 science, 9 essay</p>

<p>SAT IIs: USH 760, Chemistry 770, Math I 750 (I'm taking Math II in November with Chinese)</p>

<p>I've taken all Honors/AP classes when avaliable, will have taken two community college classes by December. 3.89 UW GPA, n/a W GPA. No ranking, but I'd guess top 5-10%?</p>

<p>I have a solid, active role in four clubs (clubs, not competative teams...so I haven't entered any competitions, etc), leadership positions in three of the clubs, and some local leadership/academic awards. My extracurrics are all English or Science based (my interests are so diverse, sorry >.>).</p>

<p>I've had two internships and a part time job. </p>

<p>Teacher recs = good/great, and my essays are going to be pretty great (I hope). </p>

<p>Annnd I'm applying for fin aid, so if you could suggest some need-blind schools that would be amazing. </p>

<p>Okay, thanks sooo much :D</p>

<p>Assuming that you want to go to schools in the East Coast or MIdwest, I will suggest U of Rochester, Brandeis, Trinity College, GW, Case Western, Wisconsin as your match schools. Tufts or Cornell are reach. </p>

<p>Hope this will help. :)</p>

<p>Holy Cross-near Boston- is need blind.</p>

4

<p>tomorrow - your stats are competitive everywhere. Standard recommendations for bright kids with pre-med aspirations plus need for financial aid are Case Western, Emory, Tulane and Vanderbilt. You might also consider Tulsa, Trinity University, Hendrix and Rhodes. Good luck!</p>

<p>I’m trying to figure out how this can happen:
“SAT first time: …1910. CR and W were both in the 500’s.
SAT second time: …2100. 670 CR, 740 M, 690 W with an 8 essay
SAT first time: …2270. 670 CR, 800 M, 800 W with a 12 essay”</p>

<p>Two SAT first times? </p>

<p>That being said your stats are good pretty much everywhere.</p>

<p>Lol, well you obviously know what I meant, though.</p>

7

<p>remember…chemical engineering! Holy Cross is not a good choice for that at all</p>

8

<p>U Maryland College Park
Johns Hopkins
Cornell
Syracuse</p>

9

<p>UC Berkeley</p>

<p>Financial aid may not be great though…but its chemical engineering program is really good.</p>

<p>^^ FA will be nonexistent. You have many better choices above.</p>
