<p>ahh u had basically the same SAT as me! i just got my december one and got an 1850. superscored. </p>

<p>id say…occidental, pepperdine, and chapman. oh and loyola marymount
for reaches: NYU and USC</p>

3

<p>UM-CP seems to be the obvious choice here.</p>

<p>For DC proper, American and George Washington would work.</p>

4

<p>lol i realize i didn’t even specify what i like hahah >< </p>

<p>*10k+
*Preferably in a colder region (made a few exceptions with Florida State & Alabama)
*Big college schools (which are mostly state schools)
*I like space so preferably a big campus
*no LACs</p>

<p>babygrl - haha I can’t really go out to california, i feel that would be to far away and california just isn’t my type of place lol</p>

<p>ohkid - I applied to UMCP & GW =) American i visited and pretty much hated it lol</p>

5

<p>try any of the SUNY schools in NY since they are even cheap for OOS</p>

6

<p>do they have sports?</p>

7

<p>Bring up my post =)</p>

8

<p>bump yoz, hmpf?
December break down</p>

<p>the same da*n 26 Composite
26- English
27-Math
27-Reading
25-Science</p>

<p>Whyy oh whyy can’t they take your best from each section lol and make it one big composite</p>

9

<p>gumb gumb h</p>

10

<p>Bucknell, Lafayette, Holy Cross</p>

11

<p>thanks for the suggestions, but they don’t have 10k+ people =/</p>

<p>and lafayette is an LAC and so is Holy Cross</p>

12

<p>I agree with OHKID, it sounds like you are describing the University of Maryland-College Park. It seems to have everything you are looking for unless you want to be a little further from home.</p>

13

<p>Yeahhh UMD is NOT for me, I dispise it haha. I absolutely hate the area, it’s to close to home and in general don’t wanna go to school there, i definitely wanna be away from home</p>

14

<p>babygrl9205,
USC would be a definite reach. The weighted GPA for incoming freshmen in the 2008-2009 class was 4.1. The Middle 50% SAT composite was 1910-2200.<br>
This information was posted on the university website.</p>

15

<p>haha my cousin went to USC, I like it… but i would never wanna live in california anyway</p>

16

<p>Maybe consider Syracuse, Penn State (UP), Pitt, Virginia Tech and Boston U.</p>

17

<p>Thanks =) I’ve applied to Syracuse, Penn State, Pitt EA and got deffered to normal admissions i guess?, and WAS going to apply to BU but there deadline is Jan 1st and I couldn’t get the materials needed to apply by then.</p>

<p>My mom wont let me go to VT</p>

<p>But thank you =)!
What about Texas A&M?</p>

18

<p>You should get in to some/most of the schools you have applied to. Good luck with Pitt - be sure to send your first semester grades ASAP.</p>

<p>I won’t argue with your Mom about VT but the shootings could have happened anywhere. It is in the middle of nowhere - but people seem to love it there.</p>

<p>Texas A&M is very conservative and has its own unique culture. May be a culture shock coming from MD. (UT Austin would be great but it is very selective - particularly for OOS.)</p>

<p>Since you are considering the Southeast - maybe look at UGA (a little bit of a reach), South Carolina and Clemson.</p>

19

<p>Also some of the Big Ten schools like Indiana, Mich. St. and Minnesota (you said you like cold).</p>

20

<p>hahah;
quakerstake: Thanks, im not even bothering with pitt anymore i can’t see myself really there it was more for my sister who is a HUGE pitt fan about everything lol Yeahhh thats not the only reason for VT, i know a TON of people who go there that say stuff goes on people dont even know about and a few people already transfered out… about TAMU, The conservative feel doesn’t bother me i come from an extremely conservative family i think i may visit it depending… I was thinking of UGA since it also has a pretty easy app (so i’ve heard?), USoCar i visited and didn’t like, and im on the edge about clemson i do like the colors but i feel idk haha </p>

<p>I applied to Minnesota, it’s actually among my top 3! =)</p>

<p>I’ve applied to some i just wanted to see what people would suggest: (Colorado, Minnesota, Syracuse, Penn State, Pitt, Maryland, Alabama)</p>
