<p>Hey guys, I would really appreciate if you guys help me out for this
So basically I'm looking for private schools
-locating near San Francisco
-deadlines around February or later
-encourages studying aboard </p>
<p>My GPA is 4.0 UW (no W yet because I haven't taken any AP class until now) but I'm still top 5% of my class <-- crappy school
My crappy SAT scores is 1760/2400 (520C/630M/610W)</p>
<p>Thanks A LOT!</p>
<p>bump 10 char!</p>
<p>bump again !</p>
<p>and another bump! </p>
<p>p.s I won’t stop bumping until someone helps me here! :(</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>Have you looked at the deadlines of…</p>
<p>U San Francisco?</p>
<p>St Marys in Moraga?</p>
<p>How much will your parents pay?</p>
<p>Why are you limiting to the SF area? There are more schools outside of that area.</p>
<p>I have looked at USF… it was January 15
My parents said they are paying anything around 20k to 30k as long as I stay in SF so they could cut the dorms/lunch/other expenses fees.</p>
<p>Saint Mary’s deadline is Feb 1 or 2. I think Sonoma State may still accept apps till March</p>
<p>Dominican U of California (in San Rafael) deadline Feb 1st</p>

<p>What if you found an “out of the area” school that costs that much for everything (dorm, etc, included)? Are they just totally against the idea of you “going away” to school?</p>
<p>Try St. Mary’s Moraga.</p>
<p>The SF area is big. Drives to various colleges in the so-called area will still be a long commute in many cases. Do your parents understand that commuting a distance to a campus can be very detrimental to a student’s education and feeling a “part of the college”?</p>
<p>They could agree on “letting me go” if I found that out of area school however, they are more into making me staying near them. It’s just because they think I couldn’t be independent and would be in some sort of trouble. I tried to explain that its important to let me go but they think its better if I stay with them for the sake of money. And if I tell them I could get scholarships and loans, I could pay for myself but they… just can’t trust me. :(</p>
