Nigiri:

Berkeley, Michigan, UVA. You better be a good runner, state finalist may or may not be recruitable at these schools. Also check out William and Mary which has awesome history and track.

Don’t forget UNC Chapel Hill, which ranks ahead of UVA in general history and is tied for US history.



nworunner:

College-wise, I would prefer a more urban campus, but I am open to any setting. When people say cost isn’t a factor they are normally just putting the factor aside for the time being. Likewise, I am doing the same, so cost is not really a factor. I want a coed school, that is either public or private. I want the size of the school to be at least over 7,000 undergraduates. Lastly, I don’t care about any religious affiliation it might have.

These lists are by no means exhaustive, but they should be sufficient to get you started. I’ve included a full range of selectivity, as your list should include reaches, matches, and safeties.
