<p>Hi I'm intersted in going to a school that is close to a city, if not in the city but still has a college campus. I would like the college campus to have old buildings and a big lawn, not like a city school where the campus tends to be scattered. Boston College, University of Chicago, University of Southern California and Georgetown all have exactly what I'm looking for but I don't think I will be able to get into there. I have a weighted average in the higher 90's, I am from New York, I have not taken the SAT's yet, I'm a junior, and I have tons of extra curricular activities.</p>

<p>You seem to be defining “city” as “big” and “college” as “nationally known.” I’d suggest Trinity College in Hartford, but I don’t think of Hartford as a team capable of supporting an NFL team. Tulane is a possibility, but Miami seems to be in the camp with Hartford.</p>

<p>Can you do any better suggesting size of city (population size, perhaps?), reputation of college, and distance of college from downtown city?</p>

<p>If Boston College is a reach for the OP, Vanderbilt isn’t happening. </p>

7

<p>Pitt? American (nice campus, even if architecture isn’t as attractive)? Fordham? Lewis & Clark?</p>

8

<p>If female, Agnes Scott. Birmingham-Southern College, Tampa, Rollins, Richmond.</p>

<p>OP, how much can your family afford? Look at Lewis and Clark, and Reed in Portland OR</p>

<p>might check out Holy Cross and Trinity College. Holy Cross has beautiful campus and great school spirit.</p>

<p>Look at the Jesuit schools which tend to be in/near major cities and see if any match your academic profile and geographic preferences. My S had a great experience at Fordham. <a href=“Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities--Jesuit Colleges and Universities”>http://www.ajcunet.edu/institutions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You can also check into Tulane, Villanova, American, UMiami, URichmond. Emory and Vanderbilt would likely be reaches based on what you wrote above. </p>
