<p>I laught at you for requesting a preppy college.
Look at Sewanee even though it is small. Also Miami (OH) is fairly preppy in the sense I think you are talking about. Apply to Tulane, it is really prestigious and is fairly big. Also check out Notre Dame/St. Mary's College.</p>

<p>What do you want to major in Serin?</p>

6

<p>Miami Ohio is preppy conservative land.</p>

<p>"middle eastern studies would be interesting too but i dont know what id do with it."</p>

<p>Work for the CIA or NSA. They fit your original college qualifications, too ("not a very liberal population...preppy...well known...prestige. A pretty campus...cute boys"). As for colleges, U of Minnesota-TC could be a good fit, if you don't consider it too liberal (you would get in-state tuition, at least). I agree that you may also like Miami of Ohio. Also, climate and region could play a considerable role - possibly somewhere like Southern Cal if you want to leave the Upper Midwest.</p>

<p>Here are some schools I recommend:</p>

<p>Cornell University (good pre-med, N&ME Studies, finance)
Johns Hopkins University (good pre-med and N&ME Studies)
Indiana Univeristy-Bloomington (good N&ME Studies and Finance)
New York University (good N&ME Studies and Finance)
University of Chicago (good N&ME Studies and Pre-med)
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (good pre-med, N&ME Studies and Finance)
University of Notre Dame (good pre-med and Finance)
University of Wisconsin-Madison (good pre-med and finance)
Washington University-St Louis (good pre-med and Finance)</p>

<p>Alexandre, some of those schools are going to be tough with a 30 ACT and a 79% rank.</p>

11

<p>I agree slipper. Indiana is a safety, as is Minnesota. Wisconsin is a good match. The rest are slight reaches and reaches.</p>

12

<p>Notre Dame, Holy Cross, Bucknell.</p>

13

<p>hmm what if i fall down in like 70-75%percentile, then what?</p>

14

<p>Depending on your board scores consider Wake or UVA. May be reaches.</p>

<p>On the west coast, in addition to USC, also check out the University of San Diego, Pepperdine and Santa Clara University. I like Par's suggestions of Bucknell, Notre Dame and Cornell too. Perhaps you might also like at Boston U. or Emory in Atlanta. The University of Miami (Florida) might work for you too.</p>

<p>Notre Dame, Vaderbilt, Nortwestern</p>
