Your State. Financial constraints. Big medium or small. Big time collegiate sports or no. Single sex or coed. City or country. Liberal or not so much. Religious affiliation or not. Warm cool or cold. Any type of nearby recreation preferred. Hiking skiing or surfing et al. Theatre or dance or music interests. Collaborative or competitive vibe. Preppy or hippie. Distance from home. Grad school or med school in the current plan.
I’m really open to anywhere in the country, no financial constraints. Coed is preferred, and sports/religious affiliations carry not much significance. I am planning to pursue medicine.
What state are you from is what I was asking?
Will you have college and or med school covered comfortably for you by family. The other questions matter a lot too
What’s your EFC?
Have you discussed costs with your parents - what budget range have they given you?
Have you run the NPC on every college on your current temporary list of dream schools?
You must have dream schools so I’ll focus on good matches and safeties.
Your state flagship (s)’ honors college (s) is an obvious answer.
Grinnell would be a good high match if you express interest. Lafayette, Dickinson, Denison would likely yield merit aid. Haverford for a reach. St Olaf, UVermont would be good safeties if you start expressing interest now.
Just to suggest one that is outstanding but sometimes less well known outside the Northeast, check out Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). Beautiful LAC-type campus in a nice part of Worcester; great vibe; fantastic, hard-working students; about 5000 undergrads; unlike some comparable STEM schools, last few classes have close to gender balance; dynamic female president; unique hands-on, project-oriented approach with lots of internships and close ties to regional tech, industrial, and medical businesses; among the highest starting salaries of all colleges/universities. Your stats, etc. would be in line, not a safety school.
Well it seems like you have a strong amount of academics on your belt. I noticed that there are a lot of people that have a similar or better high school background that get denied by multiple colleges. You would have a very competitive resume if you applied to a lot of Universities.
