<p>I know deadlines are approaching but Im looking for a few more schools to apply to.</p>
<p>1940 SAT 1340/1600</p>
<p>3.65 unweighted</p>
<p>all honors and 2 APs</p>
<p>EC's
President of environmental club
Senior leader of Soup kitchen
2 varsity sports
200+ hours community service
cooked in a restaurant for past four years</p>
<p>I have applied to UCONN, Villanova, Northeastern, and accepted at UVM.</p>
<p>Id like a school in the northeast or Colorado or California with at least 5000, and preferably some D1 sport to watch.</p>
<p>Bucknell, Colgate, Lafayette and Holy Cross are smaller than 5,000. They are not really sports schools either. </p>
<p>Try BC, Rutgers and Syracuse. If you have a major in mind that may help with recommendations. Over 5,000 students and division 1 sports will be almost every State School (exception UVM) in the NE and California. The academic matches for you that meet your requirements are probably going to be limited to BC and Nova. If you aren’t too concerned about going to the most selective school you are admitted to, Rutgers, UConn and Syracuse are good picks. Northeastern recently dropped football and is not much of a sports school, nor is UVM.</p>
<p>When you say Div I sports…do you mean winning teams…or just any Div I sports? Some schools have Div I sports, but aren’t well attended because they don’t having winning teams.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, a few answers-
Major- environmental Science probably
Sports- D1 is not imperative, it would just be nice to have some weekly sports entertainment</p>
<p>I’ve looked into BC and Holy Cross and they do not spark my interest as much. Particularly BC because of its high price tag and they do not give out much money</p>

<p>We really need to know what the financial situation is to make realistic recommendations.</p>
<p>How much can your family spend each year on your education? Is your family’s income low enough that you would qualify for federal grants (free money)?</p>
<p>I am going to recommend Penn State. Good environmental science and reasonably priced. BC and Nova are both going to be expensive since your scores will not get you any merit aid to them (no offense, but they are both slight reaches for you). Rutgers would also be a good choice. Although Rutgers is more urban/suburban than Penn State, environmental science is in demand in NJ. NJ is loaded with superfund sites and jobs in environmental cleanup. UVM is a decent backup but lacks the sports.</p>
<p>Go to Syracuse if your looking for that sort of school, Cuse basketball is great to watch every year. There are tons of Greeks, places to go, and especially girls to see.</p>
<p>you should try to leave school with Total Debt = First year income
thus you should not borrow more than 50-60 thousand, as many starter incomes are not much higher than that</p>
<p>Altho some use that as a guideline, it’s much better to have a debt of not more than one HALF of your projected first year’s income.</p>
<p>Borrowing the max Stafford for undergrad is about $27k total. That will give you a monthly payment of about $310 per month for TEN LONG YEARS. That’s like an extra car payment!</p>
<p>If a person is lucky to start at $50-60k per year, borrowing that much would mean payments around $600 per month. That is NOT a good idea. That will likely prevent any ability to save for a home and may require you to live at home for a few years after graduation, which would be a problem for most new grads. The new job may not be close to the parents’ home.</p>
<p>Remember, the repayment occurs during the years of 23-33. Those are important adult years. Big debt is a stanglehold on lifestyle.</p>
