Hello,

Could anyone suggest me any colleges? I think I have enough reaches, but more suggestions would be welcome. I think I need to work on my safety/match list, however.

I’m looking for a college with:
-An urban/suburban setting

Location does not matter to me (East coast, West coast, or South is ok)

With financial aid
-Not overly party-focused, but an relatively active student body
-Small or Midsize, but not huge
-Will consider LACs, but few are in urban settings

My intended major is undecided, although I am considering a Biology major to later have a Public Health job. Otherwise, I would major in Political Science or something along those lines.

Here are my stats:

Academics:

-3.99 GPA (UW). 4.7 (W)

2130 SAT (750 Math and Writing, 630 Reading). Took it only once, so will prep over summer and try to bring up CR to 750.
-Rigorous Schedule: 11 Honors/12 APs
-Waiting on SAT IIs

Extracurriculars:

-Founder of learning platform, and partnered with a school district to adopt it in afterschool programs
-Currently working on an EdTech startup with some friends
-Founder and President of a solely student-run organization that partners with regional/state organizations to collect/distribute items needed for the poor
-Have personal Tutoring Business and volunteer as tutor/mentor for an organization to help poor students
-President of Science Club and Medical Internship: Coauthoring a review with a private clinic (Out of country and unpaid)
-President of Debate Club and Internship with Law Firm: Wrote an investment report now used by lawyers to attract foreign outsourcing clients (Also out of country and unpaid)
-Club Soccer
-Varsity Soccer (All Years)

Recs will be excellent.

Unknown if I will be applying as domestic or international.

Thanks.
