Chance me: (2024 poli sci) and suggest some other schools [PA resident, 3.73 UW, 1440 SAT]

You can afford - but do you want to afford?

For example, and I’m just throwing out a name, you could follow many from the NE and go to U of Alabama at $28K off of $32K tuition - so you’d be all in at $20K per year…so there are affordable opportunities. That’s one of many.

Pitt is great for poli sci.

Penn State - why not resubmit or is 1440 a superscore? If 1380 is a single entry, Bama is $24K off - so you’d be low $20s all in.

Agree with your matches. Don’t think BC or Michigan are realistic.

So you have have schools in civilization for the most part - so I’ll suggest some there.

The problem is I don’t know your budget. But if you can afford BC, Michigan, SU, NYU without aid - you’re approaching $100K a year - so we’ll say you can afford anywhere.

So with your #s - and in civilization - College of Charleston, U Minnesota, U Denver might be some to look at. Indiana - but not urban but either is Penn State. U of South Carolina is another. UVM too.

Brandeis might be a good reach but a bit smaller. Furman and Clark are other smaller to look at. Kalamazoo, an urban LAC with some merit.

Good luck.
