| College match CHALLENGE: Can you match me to a school?
I live in FL but prefer to go out of state. I'm attracted to prestige, but I'll admit I party more then most people I know. I'm in the IB program, have about a 3.7 unweighted GPA, 2070 SAT, 30 ACT, Internship, Club leadership, NHS, SNHS, NEHS, good community service, Newspaper editor, etc. etc.
I'm looking to go into marketing/psychology, but I'm kind of interested in finding a school that also has a good photography program. I prefer schools in the north east area, but the south and midwest are under consideration too. I'm definitely the type of person who would take advantage of the social life that comes with going to a big D-1 State U, but I'm also very interested in graduating with a prestigious education. I refuse to attend a school smaller than 10,000 total students. Fortunately money is not an issue. I'll admit I'm pretty artsy as well as adventurous. I love alcohol, weed and am attracted to the big cities. I guess I could be considered your typical "work hard, play much harder" student.
Here's your challenge college confidential experts, CAN YOU MATCH ME?

You seem to emphasize your desire to party and your interest in drugs. Given your academic performance, I think University of Georgia would be a good choice, as your stats match well, they'll like your IBs and community service. I've heard that Athens, a town near UG has a huge party scene. It's not that prestigious, but it's certainly a quality education. Even though you prefer the northeast, I think this is a good match. Also consider one of the schools I'm trying to get into: University of Maryland. It's farther from your home, closer to(but not in) the northeast, and near the capitol, Washington DC. It's more prestigious than Georgia, if that's the difference you're looking for. Maryland is a highly-ranked party school that takes its sports very seriously. I hope I did a good job and look like I actually know what I'm talking about; I'm new to this site.

Do you need financial aid?
There are several academically strong and yet social colleges in Florida...why are you ruling them out?

Clemson is a match except that it's not urban.
