<p>Since you’re from S. Korea, should we assume that you’re an int’l applicant?</p>

<p>Will your parents pay all costs? If not, will you need financial aid? If so, that’s very important info since most schools don’t give aid to int’ls. </p>

<p>If you do need aid, will you qualify for the aid that you need? Will your parents pay what they’re expected to pay?</p>

<p>yes, im an international applicant but i have a u.s citizenship and permanent address in the U.S. I was born and raised in NJ for 16 years and transferred the middle of sophomore year to a boarding school in Seoul. </p>

<p>yes, my parents will pay for all costs.</p>

<p>We need more information to give you good recommendation: size of school, your area of academic interest, whether you want an urban, suburban or small college town enviroment, the culture (intellectual, artsy, quirky, hip, jock, frat, granola, etc…), and other attributes that matter to you (a big sports culture? frats? religous environment? single sex? off-campus internships?)</p>

<p>Given your grades and test scores, you can get into a top LAC or University - but you need to narrow down the field at bit. There are probably 50 schools in the NE that might be a good fit, assuming no further information.</p>
