Rising Junior-- what types of schools should I tour? (if covid allows)

Perhaps consider Boston College as a reach school.

I agree with the post about FISKE’s book of colleges sit down and read through every college, cross out colleges with factors that worry you. Strength of religious affiliation, setting, boy girl ratio, size, instate student percentage, international student percentage, sororities/fraternities/party ranking/percentage of commuter students.

Also consider the difference in the vibe between the West and East coast. Once you have ruled out schools that you wouldn’t enjoy organize the schools which stand out to you by price and national/global ranking. From the book take about 20 colleges which stand out then do more individual research to narrow it down.
