<p>Would UConn be a good option? considering that its in Connecticut, and its not extremely expensive? Also I would probably like to go to a larger university, and UConn falls under that category. Aren’t some of those universities you listed a bit of a reach, I guess? Like Northeastern? I thought so because my sister didn’t get in and I think her GPA was a bit higher but SAT was lower. She goes to Hofstra, a rather expensive school, and took out loans and all. So I don’t want my financial situation to limit me, I will probably be in debt for a while like most students anyway. I’m not severely poor, but I only have one parent who works. I will most definitely apply to UConn, I guess its a target school. The larger universities are attractive options to me, just the problem is I don’t really know which ones I should be looking at based on my SAT score and GPA and I guess relatively weak extra curricular activities. But might I add, my high school has rather lowish standards and is kinda crappy, which puts my SAT scores in the 98th (CR), 91st (Math), and 89th (Writing) percentiles based on average scores of my school, and I wonder if that matters or is something schools consider. Thanks for the help, much appreciated–this all really stresses me out.</p>
