Backups

Applying to College
1

<p>I applied ED to Vandy but unfortunately I don’t really have any backups (stupid I know, no criticism about that please). I applied to Purdue University in Indiana and got in there (I needed one school I would for sure get into).
I visited Washington University in St. Louis and liked that, and Boston College is alright as well. I just didn’t know if anyone knew of any schools that were similar to those schools?
Vandy and WashU are a bit of a stretch for me, so any school more selective than those I wouldn’t even bother with. </p>

<p>If anyone cares to know a little more about me since it might help? I don’t know…
I think I want to major in some kind of special education and do speech pathology within that. I’m very outdoorsy, I love school spirit, and I’m athletic.</p>

<p>If anyone wants anymore information just let me know. Thanks in advance for any help.</p>

<p>What do you want to study? What are your stats? Is money an issue?</p>

<p>I would probably major in special education or child development if the school offered it.</p>

<p>quick stats:
32 ACT
3.8 unweighted GPA
attend the best private school in my area
lots of extracurriculars and lots lots lots of leadership.
started an event at my school that raised over $20,000 for a hospital </p>

<p>Oh and I’m a white female</p>

<p>Is money an issue? Can your family afford their EFC (and then some at schools that do not meet full need)?</p>

5

<p>Money isn’t really much of an issue</p>

6

<p>How about NYU, BU, Emory.</p>

<p>Lots of great LACs you’d be a good candidate at but wouldn’t have an education or speech major.</p>

<p>Yeah, I was looking at colgate and they don’t have anything even relatively close to what I want to do. I’m so lost!</p>
