<p>Currently a high school senior, white, male. I live in the Hudson Valley in New York. I'd prefer not to look further than an 8 hour car drive away.
I'm looking at applying to a variety of liberal arts schools: Bard, Bates, Colby, and Union.
I'm also looking at Northeastern and Stony Brook.</p>
<p>I need to know if my schools are good matches and if any of them could be considered safeties for me. </p>
<p>Here's me:</p>
<p>Major: Undeclared, but leaning towards dual majoring in History + Organic Chem, also considered poli sci (I will go onto my PhD most likely)
Career: considering law or professorship</p>
<p>UW GPA - 3.24, W GPA - 3.6 (low I know, it'll probably be my downfall, I really only started working hard the second half of my junior year, if I hadn't my AP classes grades would have been horrid)
