Suggest Some Colleges For Me?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm a rising senior and am having some difficulty finding a diverse group of colleges to look into; right now my prospective list is rather short.</p>

<p>What I'm looking for:</p>

<p>Size: Small-Medium (<15,000)
Academics: Very strong. I really love learning, and I want a place where this doesn't make me a minority. That being said, I still want a pretty good social life, with fun things to do. Definitely no party schools though.
Prestige Level: Doesn't matter. Hopefully someplace I've heard of before, though : )
Location: I'd rather not be in New England (weird, right?) or anyplace TOO cold (I am from MI, though, so I can still handle a lot).</p>

<p>I'm planning on studying English, or maybe Anthropology.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.75 unweighted
ACT: 30
EC's: Pretty good, including some awards.
Rec's and Essays: Should be very good.</p>

<p>So if anyone wants to give me some suggestions on schools that might be a good fit, I would truly appreciate them! Thanks!</p>

<p>Question, are you female? If so, I would recommend Scripps College in Claremont, California. If you are male, I would recommend any of the other Claremont Colleges (Claremont McKenna/Pomona/Pitzer/Harvey Mudd, depending on your interests).</p>

<p>What are you thinking of studying exactly? What are your academic interests?</p>

<p>Whitman College in Washington is an excellent school. Maybe Lewis & Clark College in Portland?</p>

<p>We have similar stats, so I’m just listing colleges I applied to. :] (I’m going to Wellesley, so if you’re a girl then you should definitely look at that school!)</p>

<p>Also, look at Rhodes (TN), Kenyon, Denison and Grinnell.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! I’ll be sure to look at all of these schools.</p>

<p>catsushi: I’m a guy, so Wellesley is out, but thanks for the other recommendations!</p>
