<p>I am a junior in high school and I would like to go visit some colleges over spring break. My unweighted GPA is 3.985. I guess that gets rounded up to a 4.0. I've taken the SAT once and I got a 2090 (740 writing, 670 CR, 660 math) and I am taking it again in May. I am pretty confident I can get it up to around 2150. I have taken multiple SAT subject tests but I haven't done so great on any of them. I got a 640 on the Biology E, 630 on Math 2, 620 on World History, 630 on Italian, and 640 on Literature. I'm planning on taking the Physics and the US History in June but based on my previous history I will probably get around 630 on those, too. I don't know, I just can't seem to do so well on subject tests. I don't know my exact class rank, but I am around 10-15 out of 500. I've taken a bunch of honors and AP classes and I have solid extracurriculars. </p>
<p>I want a school that is medium sized, between 5000-12000 students. I want a school with a campus, but in or near a city. I don't want to be in the middle of nowhere. I don't know exactly what I want to do, but I might go into pre-med, psychology, or business. Since I am not sure I think it would be beneficial for me to go to a school with broad programs, in case I want to study multiple subjects to find my interests.</p>
<p>I live in New York, near NYC. I want to go to a college on the east coast, or maybe in the midwest at the farthest. Some schools I am thinking about applying to:</p>
<p>Reaches: Duke, Washington University in St. Louis, UPenn
Target: Tufts, Boston College, Northwestern, Emory, Johns Hopkins
Safety: Northeastern, Fordham</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind going to a school far away like Emory where I would have to take a plane, but for a school like that I would be more likely to visit it after I apply if I get accepted. I'm not flying all the way to Atlanta from NY just to see one school. Since I am doing tours, I would like to visit some place within driving distance from NYC that wouldn't take more than maybe 5 or 6 hours in the car. Some figure anywhere in the northeast, possibly Virginia at the farthest south. Which area can I go that would have multiple schools that fit this criteria?</p>
<p>I have already seen Tufts and Northeastern. I was supposed to see Boston College, as well, but we had an emergency and had to come home early. I would like to see Boston College but I don't know if it pays to go up to Boston if thats the only school I would be looking at. Are there any other schools in that area that I might like, or should I go visit somewhere else?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the help.</p>
