College Search & Selection

<p>Hi! I'm looking for some meet schools on the east coast. I'm thinking about a communications/media major or psychology major but liberal arts schools are where I'm looking. </p>

<p>Tuition isn't that big of an issue, not that I'm rich or anything- right now I'm just looking for options :)</p>

<p>I don't mind if its a traditional campus or not, but one must is that the school has to be in the city I really can't deal with being in a quiet town or something like that lol</p>

<p>So my act score is 30 composite
My GPA is 3.95 out of 4.0 weighted
My extracurriculars aren't amazing but they're average
I'm in national honors society junior and senior year
My essays are in progress and I think they're turning out pretty good!</p>

<p>Im really looking for schools that I will definitely get in I guess a safety- if they give a lot of financial aid that'd be great! I'm open to anything
Please write anything that's on your mind!:)</p>

<p>American, B.C., B.U., CMU, Fordham, GWU, JHU, Lehigh, Loyola U. Maryland, NYU, Northeastern, Trinity, U.Pitt., U.Rochester</p>

<p>You didn’t specify size or specific cities. Also some of these are matches rather than safeties…</p>

<p>Make sure you have a safety you can afford on your list.</p>

<p>Liberal arts colleges in cities?</p>

<p>Boston: Emerson College, Lasell College, Lesley University, Simmons College (if you’re a woman), Suffolk University, Tufts University (not exactly a safety)</p>

<p>New York: College of New Rochelle (women’s), Manhattan College, Concordia College, SUNY Old Westbury, Sarah Lawrence College (also in Westchester). You may also be interested in Vassar and Marist - they are in Poughkeepsie which is decent-sized in it’s own right, but they are also only about 2 hours from NYC. If you are a woman, consider Barnard, although it’s not a safety</p>

<p>In or near Philadelphia: LaSalle University, Ursinus College. There are of course many liberal arts schools near Philly, but not safeties (Villanova, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Haverford)</p>

<p>DC: American University</p>

<p>Others: University of Richmond (Richmond, VA), UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro, Davidson College (also not a safety, but it’s nearby Charlotte), Guilford College (Greensboro, NC), Salem College (Winston-Salem, NC - also a women’s college, unless you are 23 or older), College of Charleston (Charleston, SC), Oglethorpe University (Atlanta, GA - they have a scholarship program there you may want to check out), Eckerd College (St. Petersburg, FL - fourth largest city in Florida and in the Tampa Bay area)</p>

<p>Forgot about Elon and Furman. Elon’s not really a big city, but Greenville, SC (where Furman is) is actually a pretty decent-sized city.</p>
