College Search & Selection

<p>Hi, can someone please give me some ideas about a college that best fits me? </p>

<p>My Academics:
GPA: 4.36
Unweighted: 3.68
SAT: 2110 (will retake in December and hope to get a 2200)
SAT IIs:
- math IIC : 770
- Chemistry: 720
APs
- Lang/Comp : 3
- USH: 3
- EURO: 3
- CHEM:5
- CALC BC:3 (I'm usually good at math but I was really sick that day)
- CALC AB SUBSCORE: 4</p>

<p>But besides my grades and my test scores, I want a college that fits my personality.
Personality :
I don't really think I would like large colleges or colleges in congested cities such as New York (so no NYU). But I dont want to be in a class with only like 10 people in it. I'm not like a crazy outgoing person, but I still like to get food and chill wth my friends after school or on friday and saturday nights. I'm not the guy in my group who always starts conversations. I'm usually quiet. However, I usually get along with new people pretty well. When I want to get food with my friends, I dont go to like huge cities to get a good quality meal. I usually just go to the city restaurants around me and such. I hang out with friends that don't try to be all cool around others and they aren't that nerdy. They don't study all day and stuff like that. They still have fun once in a while, in addition to getting good grades. I don't really care much about college sports, so I wouldn't camp outside just to be first in line to get a ticket for a duke basketball game.The type of people who **** me off are people who try to act cool or people who just don't respect other friends. I also don't want too much competitiveness because I already had enough at my high school. I also don't want to be with complete nerds who are weird and uncomfortable to hang around with. I would like to study science stuff, so probably biology or chemistry. I'm pretty good at science and math. </p>

<p>Financially: My family can afford about almost any college.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I explained myself well but I hope someone can help give me some college ideas. Please give me specific college names. So far I'm liking Emory and Tufts. I know people have told me that liberal arts colleges are good, but I want to apply to colleges that are NOT liberal arts colleges.</p>

<p>Ok science and math for possible majors…what kind of career do you see yourself in? Research? medicine? what?</p>

3

<p>Well I want to become a doctor or maybe a vet.</p>

4

<p>My nephew is a freshman at Tufts, but he’s probably going to transfer out because it lacks school spirit and a social side.</p>

<p>Emory, Vandy, Santa Clara, Northwestern, Duke, USC (calif), Tulane, Rice.</p>

<p>What is your SAT breakdown?</p>

5

<p>Consider Brandeis, Colgate, Lehigh, Rice, the University of Rochester, Wake Forest.
These are small universities in suburban or pretty good urban locations, high in quality but not outrageously selective for your stats. I’m thinking Rochester might be a very good fit.</p>

<p>Oh yeah…URoch</p>

<p>If you are liking Emory and Tufts, (both somewhat of a reach for you but certainly possible), then I agree with the suggestions of URoch, Wake, Tulane, and Lehigh. I think Northwestern and some of the others are big reaches.</p>
