Some Advice Please...

Ok, I’m going to be typing this on the fly, so excuse me if my structure is a little thrown off…

<pre><code> First of all, I am a 17 year-old in Georgia with an older brother who is a junior in Princeton and an older sister who is a freshman in Georgetown (so, I’m under a little bit of pressure). I’ve decided for sure that I want to remain on the East coast during my 4 years of college, and would prefer to attend a school with an enrollment around 5,000-12,000. I have already used the Counselor-o-Matic several times, but thought getting some human input, and possibly student input would be a good addition. Money should not be a problem, so that is not really a factor in my decision as of now. I’d prefer to stay north of Georgia but south of New York, as I dislike the cold. To me, anything from the campus beauty, to food quality, to college town, to dorm size is extremely important.

 As for my academics, I have been a 4.0 every year of my life, and have always taken the some of the hardest course loads possible.  By the time I graduate, I should have at least 5 APs under my belt, as well as several honors classes.  I am currently in the top 10% of my class, and my SAT score is a 1370.

 For my extracurriculars, I have won several awards (some more significant than others) and participated in clubs and sports.  More specifically, I played soccer and basketball freshman and sophomore year for the JV team, while playing club soccer and basketball on the side.  I am also a member of the FBLA and other smaller clubs.  I've also recently picked up a part-time job at Eckerd because my basketball season just ended.  

Alright, well, I hope that was not too long.  Thank you for reading and thanks in advance for any advice you have for me!

<p>I don't know East Coast colleges, but it might help if you have an idea of what you want to major in, or what type of college you are looking for. That could help narrow it down.</p>

<p>Since you basically ruled out the Ivies and lots of LACs by location...</p>

<p>William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA has about 5600 undergrads. One of the top state schools in the country. Also UNC Chapel Hill has about 8000, Duke has about 6000, UVA has about 12,000. You should be a competitive applicant at all of these schools.</p>

<p>UPenn (10000 undergrads) or Vanderbilt(6000)?</p>
