<p>I'm a Junior at a pretty good public high school in MA located in the suburbs of Boston. I'm looking at colleges in the New England area (along with NY and PA). I'm either going to major in business administration or economics. Here are some of my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.5 W (probably 3.25 UW)
62/222 Class Rank (5 spots out of top quarter, I'm working on it)
All Honors classes throughout HS (AP Calc next year)
4-year varsity athlete in a single sport
1-year school newspaper
200+ community service hours
Work experience (but not involving anything to do with my major)</p>

<p>ACT: 26 (will be able to bring it up to 28-29)
SAT: Not taken yet (plan to submit ACT anyway)</p>

<p>Right now I'm looking at these colleges:</p>

<p>Reach: Boston University, Northeastern, Union (NY)</p>

<p>Match: UNH, UConn, Quinnipiac, Providence</p>

<p>Safety: Assumption College, UMass (Amherst)</p>

<p>Can anyone give me a few more decent schools I have a shot at getting into? Also, am I on track with the schools listed above?</p>

<p>The other New England flagship universites are worth looking into also (Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island). Also Syracuse, Villanova, Lafayette, Niagara U, U of Scranton, Fordham, Rochester Institute of Technology, Clark University (Worcester, MA), Gettysburg College, Miami (Ohio), Bentley College, Babson College, and Virginia Tech.</p>

<p>I would say if you get your act scores up, and even at the point they are at right now, northeastern is more of a match- high match...also you should look at villanova, lehigh, and bentley</p>
