What colleges would you suggest?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>This entire college application process is insane. I had a list of 6 great school (in my opinion) but I keep second guessing myself. I had posted a lot of threads in the "What are my chances?" forum, to the point that it got ridicules. So, now I am wondering what schools others would suggest. </p>

State: KS</p>

<p>Rank: 20/243, ranking should improve this is from sophomore year
GPA: uw 3.7, w 4.1</p>

<p>I have taken 1 AP (will take 2 next year, school only offers six, two of which are In the art department), yet will have taken 7 honors courses as of next year.</p>

<p>I am taking the SAT and ACT this fall.</p>

<p>My hooks are that I am from a lower class family, a single mother, and am a first generation college applicant.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any suggestion? I would prefer something that is either suburban or urban. Also, my intended majors are econ and poli sci, but if anyone know any great accounting schools that'd be awesome too. I appreciate the help in advance.</p>

<p>If you could post your original list of 6 colleges, that might be helpful. Suburban/urban is a little vague…How far way from home are you willing to go? Any preference between East/West/Midwest?</p>

3

<p>UK and KSU should be on your list because you’ll need FA.</p>

4

<p>I would prefer on the east coast or the south</p>

<p>Until we know your SATs/ACTs it would be a shot in the dark. The large Us in the Mississippi delta (Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Tulane, Miss) offer merit aid to OOS students but it depends on your grades and scores.</p>
