I took all honors and APs except for math all through highschool. My school is first in my state and has one of the most rigorous curriculum s in the nation.
Senior Classes: AP Stats, AP Eng Lit, AP Spanish, Journalism H, Humanities H, Anatomy, Sociology</p>

<p>I have no idea what I want to do (I really don't like math or science, if that helps). I just know that I LOVE the city (NYU is my first choice, but they give really no FA so it's kind of far fetched..). It's okay if the school is a reach; I want to go somewhere where I can learn as rigorously and as much as possible.</p>

<p>So, where do I apply? Thank you so much for the help.</p>

<p>Urban, good liberal arts and generous financial aid. NYU is big-20,000 undergrads. Are you looking only at big schools? If not, take a look at these LACs: Macalester in Minneapolis (generous financial aid) and Vassar, in Poughkeepsie if you are a guy (if you are a girl, Vassar is a reach for you). More mid-sized: Georgetown and Vanderbilt are both reaches-not sure about the aid-but George Washington University in DC is a match.</p>

<p>Where does the 3.5 put you rank wise at your school? Do you qualify for need based aid?</p>

<p>The 3.5 puts me at the top 50% of my class for certain.</p>
