<p>With those stats you can get into many schools. What can your family afford for school?</p>

3

<p>What are you looking for on a college experience? Big? Small? Urban? Rural? Public? Private? With/without core curriculum? What do you want to study? You should provide more info in order to get useful info besides the standard top 20 list.</p>

<p>And it is also helpful to give the section breakdown on your SAT rather than the total.</p>

<p>We need more info…can you answer the following…</p>

<p>Breakdown of SAT</p>

<p>What is your likely major? career?</p>

<p>What else do you want in a school besides academics? Small? Large? Quiet campus? Spirited campus with big sports to watch? Warm weather? Cold/snowy weather? Fun offcampus hangouts? Rural setting? City setting?</p>

<p>How much will your parents spend each year? If you don’t know, ask them.</p>

<p>If you’ll need financial aid, will your family qualify? Financial aid is based on determined need; it’s not based on what your family says it can pay. And, many schools do not meet need (including the Calif state schools unless you’re low income and qualify for Pell, Cal Grants, Blue & Gold, etc)</p>

<p>as far as area im looking for places near the city rather than rural, and i do prefer sunny weather over snowy. </p>

<p>im also mostly interested in the medium - big schools not so much the smaller ones but i am willing to take a look at smaller schools as well.</p>

<p>Also, I want to continue onto med school.</p>

<p>as far as how much we can pay im not too sure i will find out however. For now I just want to see where I would have a chance to get accepted and then disqualify the ones that would be too expensive or whatever.</p>
