Shoot high or settle?

Applying to College
15

<p>I agree that private is the way to go, and especially East Coast, Midwestern or Southern schools. I suggest that you apply far and wide, and look at both the very top schools that meet 100% need, and at private schools that will give you great aid but are not Top 20 schools. If you are female, look at the excellent women’s colleges. If none of this truly pans out, know that you are lucky to live in a state with a clear community college/UC matriculation plan. It doesn’t need to feel like settling if you reach your end goal.</p>
