<p>hi, i’m currently making my list of colleges that i want to apply and is in need of some safeties that are non-ivy leagues and perhaps less known but have top programs for poli sci/government and finance/business. it doesn’t have to be a top top college but i would prefer it if it’s near a big city or in the suburbs.</p>
<p>as far as my stats goes, a 4.0 gpa, 2100ish sats, and decent service/ec activities. my awards are more school based and humanities-oriented. </p>
<p>any possible colleges i should look into?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>gtown and tufts??
not sure…</p>
<p>which area of the country do you prefer? what size of school? There are a LOT of great choices that would match what you are looking for. In fact, SMU (my school) fits that profile well. The Cox School of Business is well-ranked and well-respected, the poli sci department has some of the school’s best professors, and the location in the Park Cities area of Dallas is one of the safest urban/suburban settings anywhere. </p>
<p>If you are looking for a bigger school, I would suggest considering Texas-Austin. They have top-notch programs in both business and government as well. However, admission is quite tough for out-of-staters.</p>
<p>The University of Michigan would be good. It is possible to double major in Business and Political Science, both of which are highly regarded.</p>
<p>i prefer schools on the eastern coast if possible. as for the size, not that big (more than 15,000 under + grad combined) medium or smaller is okay.</p>
<p>thanks, i’ll definitely check out university of michigan and smu. g-town and tufts are definitely on my list. ;)</p>
