<p>Hi! Sorry about the title if it sounds pretentious or anything, I'm just trying to get views.
I'm just looking for a few suggestions for schools as I finalize my college list. My list right now is basically HYPS, Brown, Columbia, Pomona, UChicago, WUSTL, and two safeties.
I'm really really looking for some more matches.</p>
<p>-------Some Info
SAT: 2360 (780/780/800)
SAT II: 800, 800, 750
GPA: 3.83 for RD (I have 8 B's. It's a lot, but I go to a rigorous private school, have taken most rigorous courseload. I got most of them when I was new student and unadjusted to the curriculum. My counselor is writing about this but I believe this is my college downfall so to speak.)</p>
<p>Recs are from the subjects (not classes) that I got B's in when I was a new student. I'm sure they're all very strong.</p>
<p>ECs:
Art (10 International/National Awards, Intl Juried Publications, Intl/Natl Juried Galleries, Student Shows, Lessons, Submitting Portfolio)
Captain of a Varsity Sport
Pres. of 2 Cultural-Social-Charity-ish Clubs
Leader of a school-wide Cultural program, 2 other smaller leadership positions</p>
<h2>Personal: ORM, Male</h2>
<p>I'm looking for match schools right now. Some criteria to consider: not humongous, all-around strong programs, not weak in art (doesn't have to be Cooper Union or something), liberal students, co-ed.</p>
<p>SAT 2’s?? You’ll have to have high 2’s to show you know the subjects you did poorly (b’s) in. 3.83 weighted? I think its impossible to have that unweighted with so many B’s.</p>
<p>With so many B’s I think most of those schools become reaches. High reaches in fact. Transcript = #1 importance</p>
<p>at least ur title doesn’t have any false info haha
looks pretty good!
will have to see more EC to be certain, but at least those look really good</p>
<p>Pastel, Your list seems to me kind of all over the place in character, but I assume that you are looking for schools that have rigorous overall academics and reasonably good art departments. I wouldnt call HPS, Columbia, Chicago, Pomona destinations for studio art, but nevertheless they are fine schools.</p>
<p>I see from an earlier post that you describe yourself as East Asian. This demographic can be over represented or under represented depending on the school. At your super reaches and at most urban schools, East Asians are in the over column, but if you get into the Midwest or rural campuses your ethnic/cultural background could be a plus. Double points if you are Islamic.</p>
<p>Thus for excellence in art and demographic advantage I would consider adding: Williams, Hamilton, Skidmore, Kenyon, Conn College. Aside from Williams these would be matches. The art + sports + academics is an especially winning combination at Williams. I would also add Wesleyan, not because its lacking in East Asians, but because it has a very good art department.</p>
<p>^^ Would also recommend Williams, if you’re OK with serious rural. Have heard rumors that the ORM disadvantage is less there; I also have seen firsthand indirect evidence that Middlebury recruits Asians, which makes sense because they are desperate to get that domestic minority % up to match peer schools.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon is supposed to be tops in art in addition to the engineering/sciences reputation it has. Andy Warhol went there <3.
I’d say it could be a low reach for you. What do you want to major in?</p>
