What Schools Should I Look At?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am going up to Boston next week to look at schools. Right now all I want to see is Tufts, Boston U, and Boston College because I really do not know where else to look there.</p>

<p>Some stats to give a rough idea of me so you can gauge where I should check out:
GPA: 4.0 UW/ 4.86 W
RANK: 18/519
SAT: 1390/2070 (going to take in October with much prep for a hoped 2200+)
XC's: Sports: XC 3 years, Swimming 4 Years+Captain, Tennis 2-3 Years (senior year?)
Clubs: Academic Team 4 Years President, Film Club 4 Years President, Key Club 4 Years, Ultimate Frisbee Club 4 Years, Environmental Club 3 Years, Academic Council 2 Years, Debate 2 Years, Mock Trial 4 Years-Regionals (COULD BE MORE SPECIFIC BUT THIS IS JUST TO GIVE ME SOME GOOD BOSTON AREA TARGET SCHOOLS) World Languages Award 3x, Student of the Month
Out of School: MS Walk 4 Years Team Leader, MS Ride 150 3 Years, 50 volunteer hours misc.
Work: Worked 3 years all 20+ weeks during school and 30+ during summer</p>

<p>That's about it. Oh and some majors I am throwing around: Film, Spanish, Political Science.</p>

<p>THANKS</p>

<p>Talk to your college advisor.</p>

<p>What type of school do you want? Big? Small? Near the city? Or suburbs of Boston? Laid-back? </p>

<p>Figure out what you want.</p>

<p>I am going to Boston for a three day trip and I just want some possible schools to visit (Besides BU BC and Tufts) that I have a reasonable chance of getting in. </p>

<p>Suburbs or city, doesn't matter. Big or Small.</p>

<p>definitely consider brandeis.
if you are really into film, you could check out emerson.</p>

<p>heres the whole list:

<p>Tufts is your reach in Boston. Brandeis could be a high match, but could go either way. The other schools seems like low matches to safeties.</p>

<p>Film? Look into Emerson. Fantastic film program, you'd have no trouble getting in, and it's right in downtown Boston. Fun school, very hands on programs.</p>

<p>BU is a great choice for you if you're really not committed to anything yet. I'm going to be an oddball and say Northeastern might actually be better because it's got the co-op program which is AWESOME for some majors.</p>

<p>I also second Brandeis. Strong Pol-Sci program, would be a good fit for you.</p>
