<p>Anyone have any suggestions on good science schools within a 3-4 hour radius of Boston? SAT's 1920 (retaking in October -hoping to break 2000), 3.6+ GPA (in our school it is top 25%).</p>
<p>All suggestions are helpful.</p>
<p>thanks,</p>

<p>thank you - any other suggestions out there?</p>
<p>There are so many schools within that radius of Boston - I believe it’s got the most colleges per capita of any area in the US… You’d do better using the SuperMatch function on this website, then researching the schools it suggests.</p>
<p>WPI is a good school but it is filled with a bunch of tools. I work at the Sole Proprietor, a restaurant within 30 seconds walking distance of the university that pulls a lot of business and I always see the WPI kids come in for happy hour sushi and they are kids who just try too hard. Basically they are a bunch of nerds, and for me thats not a majority I want to be surrounded by in college, but thats just me.</p>
<p>Boston University
Northeastern university
UMass Amherst
UMass Boston
Simmons
Emmanuel
Bentley
Brandeis
UNH
UVM
Franklin Pierce
WPI
Clarke University
UConn</p>
<p>Probably not worth applying to these, but full disclosure:
Bowdoin
Colgate
Harvard
MIT
Boston College
Tufts</p>
<p>There are a few universities in that area, as you can see.</p>
<p>Connecticut College (CT)
Wheaton College (MA)
Holy Cross (MA)</p>
<p>Dense radius of engineering schools exist in the northeast. Consider Tufts, Brandeis, Boston U., Harvard only if you are 4.0 or so, ditto for MIT, Uconn, Brown.</p>
