URGENT: HEOP and college list

College Search & Selection
1

<p>First question: Are there any other programs like HEOP out there for economically disadvantaged students?</p>

<p>Hello. I am an senior at a top top magnet school in NYC</p>

<p>89 (3.56) GPA. I failed math team once semester, and I did well one year and poorly the second in french. </p>

<p>2270 SAT, 800mathIIc, 730bio Should I take another satII?</p>

<p>Junior year: AP Music Theory (95, 4) and AP Statistics (70-75, 4)
Senior year: AP Calculus AB</p>

<p>Essays probably average. mediocre ECs</p>

<p>I will have one recommendation (history) and will probably have trouble getting a second. </p>

<p>I need to make a list of colleges quickly. I do not think I am eligible for EOP (requires <85 avg, and for SUNY. I think I can get into SUNYs), but what about HEOP? My income is in the lowest bracket. I haven't been able to find GPA or any other requirements. Since HEOP is for NY only and my school limits to 7 applications, I modified my original list to get some more NY schools in, and schools that require 1 recommendation in. </p>

<p>I am largely undecided so I want a well-rounded college, but I am interested in psychology, sociology, evolutionary biology, human ecology, economics, and business. I like the idea of a minor in music performance or theory. </p>

<p>The following preferences are NOT important and are only tip factors. I like a campus-centered community in or very near a major city, have a football team, and would prefer the university not have a humongous population and not be affiliated with a religion. </p>

<p>SUNY: binghamton, geneseo, buffalo, stonybrook (applications partially sent)
U Michigan (applications partially sent)
Oxford at Emory (I dont think I will apply to emory)
NYU (heop)
Vassar? (heop)
Cornell
BU or BC (help)</p>

<p>Any recommendations for other colleges? Can you list more colleges that will accept applications with only one rec? The list is due this friday, 3 days from now. </p>

<p>Thank you all.</p>

<p>math team grade was a nc (math team is a credit/no credit class)</p>

3

<p>hamilton is a heop college that requires 1 rec.
Ive heard its a good liberal arts college.</p>

<p>I have a question for you. Do you have to pay the application fee when applying for heop? Is there a place to check off that u want to be considered for heop in the apps?</p>

4

<p>If you qualify economically for HEOP, you will probably also qualify for a fee waiver. There should be a box to check off in applications for heop.</p>

5

<p>some other heop schools you can look into are RIT, Ithaca, Marist, college of saint rose, LIU,Fordham, Manhattanville, Utica, U of Rochester.
I think all of those have heop, but im not sure how many recs they require.</p>

<p>I know I qualify for a fee waiver, but im only limited to 4 collegeboard waivers. Do these colleges automatically wavie it or do I still need to send a waiver with the app?</p>

6

<p>I know the fee is waived for SUNY EOP, but I am not sure about HEOP. Can anyone chime in?</p>
