<p>I'm looking for a school with a decent marching band. Obviously then it has to have a football team, maybe also a lacrosse team so i can catch some good lacrosse games. I'm taking engineering, probably computer. I'm also thinking about information technology.</p>

<p>here are some of my stats off the top of my head</p>

<p>UWGPA: 3.33
WGPA: 4.0 </p>

<p>*these don't include the A's i got for physics accel i took over the summer. hopefully that will bring my GPA up. </p>

<p>ACT: 28
* i retook it yesterday, hopefully it'll go up</p>

<p>SAT: CR-600
M-680
W-510
* should i take the dec sat?</p>

<p>all accel classes
4 AP's senior yr</p>

<p>EC's:
marching band
wind ensemble
orchestra
chorus
percussion ensemble
Drum Corps
Indoor winter drumline
brass impact
pit orchestra (theater)
football fr-jr.
outdoor/indoor lacrosse fr.-sr.
a few more i can't think of</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Any large state school, obviously, would be passable. Just not University of Wisconsin.</p>

3

<p>yeah i have no interest in UW. I have applications ready to send to UMich Ann Arbor, UIUC, and Purdue. I'm trying to stay out of warm climate states like cali and florida. any suggestions?</p>

4

<p>Good. Maybe something in the Big East? Pitt, UConn?</p>

5

<p>thanks amciw. anyone else have any input?</p>

6

<p>Penn State?</p>

7

<p>hmm...penn state looks like a school i should consider. thanks!
keep the suggestions coming!</p>

8

<p>Oh, lel, forgot them. And I don't even hate their football team. Maybe OSU?</p>

9

<p>UT Austin.
Ironically, I'm trying to steer away from it (b/c I'm in TX and don't wanna go to the same state).</p>

10

<p>i've looked at UT, but i don't know if i wanna go to texas..</p>

11

<p>See Austin for yourself before you say you don't want to go to Texas. It's a lot different then what you think, as it was for me.</p>

12

<p>well im thinking like hot, dry weather. can you describe what its like?</p>

13

<p>If you prefer warm weather and you are interested in engineering, then consider Virginia Tech.</p>

14

<p>i actually don't prefer warm weather, one reason why i'm avoiding texas</p>

15

<p>Ohio State -- TBDBITL! (The Best Damn Band In The Land!) Seriously, marching bands don't come any better than OSU. Plus, looks like OSU would be a match with your statistics and interest in engineering and computer technology.</p>

16

<p>i don't know if i'm a fan of osu's traditional style. like the strap on drums, and the high knee marching.</p>

17

<p>But you might get to dot the 'i', which would be pretty cool.</p>

18

<p>sorry, dot the i?</p>

19

<p>U. of Tennessee at Knoxville, TN has a marching band, because I passed the field where they were practicing late this past summer.</p>

<p>I don't know a thing about the quality of the band or the engineering dept., sorry.</p>

<p>To be honest, a 3.3 uw gpa is not going to get you into Michigan. TOSU is a better chance for what you're looking for.</p>
