Can you tell I like kids? lol</p>

<p>No major awards, just small things in school</p>

<p>I'm in NY so I want to stay on the east coast.
Big schools are fine, but no city campuses - I want the "traditional campus"
Need financial aid but can pay up to 15k/year. </p>

<p>Thanks for the help!!</p>

<p>Are you a female? I’d suggest applying to Smith then because I loved Smith (you can also get a research scholarship there that is pretty competitive to get and very, very helpful for grad school placement if you get it).</p>

<p>I’d apply to a number of research based schools you might have a good chance of getting in at, like Chicago, Michigan, or Duke, but those aren’t on the east coast like you wanted.
I’d be looking at Cornell if I were you, I don’t like Boston personally- but you might?-, US Naval Academy if you’re into that or Merchant Marines, NYU (I don’t know what ‘city campus’ means). Columbia might be a significant reach to be honest, they’ve really cut down on their acceptance rates. Georgetown might be a good school to apply to, as with American or George Washington in DC.
Yale, UPenn type schools might be big reaches to be honest (not saying not to apply, you definitely have a chance but it’s kind of a difficult chance honestly).
I’m just thinking off the top of my head and that’s all I can really think of if you want to stay on that part of the US.</p>
