Help me add some colleges to my list for RD please?

<p>3.3UW/3.8W top 9% of class of about 400. Low performing public H.S in Rhode Island. only 4 APs open to all students.
I took 3, APUSH(4), Calc AB(?), Eng. Lit(?), not AP world. SAT is extremely high for my school , only the top 10 people in my class have scores comparable to mine, 2210 superscore 800cr 690m 720 w. Mostly Honors and Dual Enrollment. Fantastic letters, great essay, decent ECs. Yearbook editor, literary magazine editor, 4 yrs of playing guitar. </p>

<p>I will be majoring in English. </p>

<p>My list:
Reach:
Brown University (not a chance but it’s my dream school-- why not?)
Wesleyan University (Also a super reach)
Connecticut College (might not apply)
Wheaton College MA (This might be a high match with my SATs?)</p>

<p>Match:
Uconn, hopefully honors!
Emerson College (One of my top choices if not for the lack of math/science classes which I enjoy)</p>

<p>Safety:
URI, I’m auto-admitted to their honors program with my weighted gpa and SAT.
RIC, No real chance of me attending, probably $0 tuition because I can commute and merit $. </p>

<p>I would like to stay within 2 hours of my home state, so nothing outside of MA or CT please. </p>

<p>What about Mount Holyoke, College of the Holy Cross, Brandeis, UMass, Wellesley, Regis? All strong in English. Your GPA is trouble at most of these schools. And your gender at some of them if you’re male. </p>

<p>Have you run the net price calculators at any of them? have you spoken to your parents about what they will contribute? </p>

<p>Oops. Forgot to mention that I’m male, and as much as Wellesley is a great place, I doubt I’d get in :wink:
I’ve considered Brandeis. Is it as strong in the liberal arts as its LAC peers?
I’m trying to stay away from religious schools mostly, as I’m personally not religious. I’ve run net price calculators and the results haven’t been too bad. They said they can afford probably $20-30k a year including loans.</p>

<p>I am from your state. UConn is $45k how will you reach that? Nice job on the SATs.</p>

<p>Try PC. Your goa match and you may get a lot of aid.</p>

<p>So if your parents are good for 25K, where’s the rest of the money coming from? Run the net price calculators found on the FA page of each college to find out how much need-based aid each will provide.</p>
