<p>I will be watching this thread very carefully. I’m wondering the same thing (3.7UW GPA, 2250, 31). I love medium-big urban schools.</p>

<p>Temple University</p>

5

<p>Miami (Fl). GA State. Fisk. VCU. Ark State. Memphis State. U of Houston. South Florida. UNC-Charlotte.</p>

6

<p>Miami is $47K a year…</p>

7

<p>GA State…</p>

8

<p>Holy ****. You’d have to be insane to pay $47k/year to go to Miami. I just assumed it was cheap considering it’s not very prestigious.</p>

9

<p>It’s more prestigious than Oklahoma State…</p>

10

<p>Might just be.</p>

11

<p>Dionte, Princeton Review’s Admissions Selectivity Rating for Miami: 93. Princeton Review’s Admissions Selectivity Rating for OSU: 85.</p>

<p>I was wrong, I guess Miami is somewhat prestigious? I guess I just have a bad image from all of their athletes being convicted of armed robbery and rape all across Miami.</p>

<p>Then I wonder what you think of Harvard, Michigan and Berkeley, considering Ted Kaczynski went to those schools…</p>

13

<p>Well I know Michigan is pretty elite. I got accepted at Dartmouth despite no finaid, and flat-out rejected at Michigan. Still blows my mind! lol</p>

<p>Fortunately for Harvard, Michigan, and UCB I have no idea who Ted Kaczynski is, but you could enlighten me.</p>

14

<p>You got into Dartmouth, but are going to Oklahoma State instead? And rejected by UM? Somehow I dont believe that…</p>

15

<p>Free education baby.</p>

<p>I don’t think Dartmouth is as elite as it’s made out to be. Much more of an undergrad school at least with higher transfer-out than other Ivies. Not worth $60k/year.</p>

16

<p>$50K a year…</p>

17

<p>It’s one of those funny things but many undergrads prefer schools that emphasize great undergrad education. Dartmouth has a high trasfer rate, what like 3%? Hanover is not for everyone, but get real.</p>

18

<p>my stats are 3.7 gpa…13th out of 245…really good ec’s…part-time job…1630 SAT (which im NOT happy about)…25 ACT (just a practice test…which I plan on studying for for the actual ACT which i think i’ll do pretty good on).</p>

19

<p>Well your ACT is really going to hurt you, but you should still be able to get accepted and get some decent finaid from most of the cheap big city schools we discussed, i.e. your Georgia States, VCUs, and University of Houstons, etc.</p>
