Private college suggestions?

<p>I Live in southern California, I'm Hispanic
GPA: 3.1-3.2 around there
SAT:1560 (one sitting) 1630 (from different sittings, I know most privates look at SATs this way)
ECs: average ones, not very many.
So far I'm applying to:
UC Irvine
UC Davis
UC Santa Cruz
UC Santa Barbara
Seattle University
Loyola Marymount University (LA)</p>

<p>and I was wondering if these are the schools that are worth applying to (for my grades)
I know most of the UCs are reaches, but my school encourages all "college bound" kids to apply to them and four are free for me. (I have a low gpa, but im in a bunch of AP/honors courses) I am Really interested in Seattle University.</p>

<p>I also need suggestions of two more private schools that I have a pretty good chance of getting in to.... Preferably on the west coast, maybe the east coast.</p>

<p>Also check into Seton Hall (NJ), St. Johns (NY) and Sacred Heart (CT). Best of luck!</p>

<p>Can your family afford to pay for a private U (up to $50K/yr)?</p>

<p>You could always try Evergreen State. Wonderful up-and-coming school.</p>

<p>Also think about the SUNY’s and small LAC’s that need diversity. For instance, Adrian, Alma, Wittenberg, Ohio Wesleyan, Colorado College, Cornell College, and Alfred would all probably accept you with a nice scholarship package.</p>

<p>im applying for financial aid, but money isn’t a big concern…</p>

<p>any other suggestions??
and thanks for the suggestions made so far</p>

<p>I’m sorry? You’re applying for FA but money isn’t a big concern? How do you feel about paying a thousand dollars per month or more for 10 years? Do your parents know that private schools cost $35K per year of more? Talk to your parents before you start making comments like that.</p>

<p>well i don’t live with my dad, but he is going to pay for college :slight_smile:
my grandparents are my guardians and i live with them, and what sucks is they can’t give me a dollar for college, but my dad is very supportive when it comes to my education and hes wealthy too.</p>

<p>sorry if i made you upset…</p>

<p>No, Erin’s Dad is right. Have you actually had a conversation with your father about the cost of attendance at those schools? Has he actually said he’s willing to pay up to $52,000 per year? Because that’s what it costs to attend Loyola Marymount. The others aren’t much cheaper, and remember the UCs just announced a big tuition increase over the next couple of years.</p>

<p>yes…my dad told me , i didn’t even ask…he really wants me to go to a UC, but i doubt ill get accepted…i just want suggestions, you don’t need to know all my business.
(ever since I was little he put money away for my college education (so he’s told me all my life), I’ve been his only child until last year)</p>

<p>We don’t need to know your business, but the cost of college is pretty shocking, and it’s something that has to be taken into account when making your list, that’s all.</p>

<p>Azusa Pacific University, University of San Francisco, University of Redlands - all in CA</p>

<p>You said you have money, and those privates should be in your stats range. </p>

<p>Take off Irvine, Davis, and SB. Those are too far of reaches considering your stats. But if you still want a financial safety, it’s gotta be one you can get in. There’s the Cal States- Chico, Humboldt, and more. Or replace them with some out of state publics with reduced tuition: [WICHE</a> - Student Exchange Programs](<a href=“http://wue.wiche.edu/]WICHE”>http://wue.wiche.edu/)</p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>
