What do you dislike about SUNY Albany - if you can tell us, we won’t suggest universities that share the characteristics you don’t like (as much as possible).
Which SUNY do you like best? Albany is best for business (like Buffalo for Engineering or StonyBrook for science) and the Honors College is decent. If you don’t like Albany look into SUNY NewPaltz or Geneseo (nicer campus, college town…)
BinghamtonSOM as a reach?
Bostons =? BU BC…?
Beside Lehigh, run the NPC on Dickinson, Wheaton(MA) St Lawrence, Hobart&William Smith Trinity CT, Lafayette. Which are within budget?
They would be good matches for you so hopefully some would be affordable.
Then do the same for the following colleges that don’t meet need but could be affordable: Drexel, Drew, Susquehanna, St Joe’s (in Philly), Simmons, Goucher, LOyolaMD, Duquesne, Marist, American, Bentley, WPI.
You need 2 affordable sure things and 3-5 affordable matches -and all of these need to be places you’d like to attend.
