College Search & Selection

Hi, I just wanted to ask for suggestions for colleges to apply to. I already plan on applying to Georgetown and George Washington. I want to go into either business, finance, economics, or Poli sci. I am also looking into going into law in the future. Also I want to know if I should apply to any Ivy League schools.

Your ACT score is awesome! As long as you write great essays, I think you’re academically qualified for Ivies. Just treat them like the reaches that they are and find a safety school or two.

Definitely include American, Occidental, Dickinson, and Macalester on your list.

You certainly may apply to Top 25 universities and LACs, you have a shot, but obviously they’re reach for everyone.

You might consider Tufts. They are strong in the areas you’re interested in.

What can you afford? If money is an issue, then be sure and include schools where your high stats would give you significant money. Law school is full pay for most people - getting through UG debt free should be a priority.
