<p>i go to a private catholic school. im in the top 33% of my class with a 3.6 GPA out of 4.5. on a 4.0 scale, its a 3.2. i take all honors classes and will be taking 2 AP classes my senior year. i live in NJ and im on Student Council and apart of the National Honors Society. i was thinking of applying to Rutgers: Main Campus, University of Maryland College Park, Towson U, maybe Salisbury. i dont know. but anyway, where should i apply considering i get mostly B's and a few A's? i want a pretty big school, like Rutgers with 20,000 + kids. i got a cumulative score of 1590. 530 critical reading, 540 on math, and 520 on writing. i only took the SAT twice. i want to go to a school outside of NJ considering i HATE nj. suggestions would be great. thanks.</p>
<p>What can you afford? What are your selection criteria for schools other than big? (Location, major, culture, weather…)</p>
<p>i can afford most schools, but nothing 50,000 a year or over. we’d prefer a less expensive school. i’d like nice/warm weather and i have no idea what i’d want to major in. all i know is i’d want to start off with the arts/humanities</p>
<p>Take a look at College of Charleston ($37k p.a.), and Elon - both popular choices in our area.</p>
<p>Elon isn’t a big school and is prob. a reach based on the SAT scores.<br>
Maybe…
James Madison University<br>
East Carolina University
UNC Charlotte
UNC Greensboro</p>
<p>I second James Madison.</p>
