You may find some good suggestions on the 3.0 to 3.3 thread. My son has similar stats to yours: 2080 SAT and 3.2 GPA. He wants a big public, and I'm actually starting to think that this may be the best bet for a kid like him rather than a private. My rationale is that there will always be high achieving, very bright kids at certain big publics who simply could not afford a private school, while those bright kids who have better grades than my son might not be shopping at the same private schools to which he would be admitted.
I also think there is less minutiae in big classes...with the grades mostly dependent on tests...so if your kid tests well, it's a bonus.
My rationale may be flawed...after all, I'm trying to come up with reasons to feel good about the fact that my son is destined for a big public institution....
