Help Me find a school!

[Lylest]

<p>I go to a public school in Arizona
GPA(UW): F-3.0 Soph-3.1 J-4.0 S-4.0 (out of 4.0)
GPA(W): 4.4 out of 5 I think
SAT I: 1390/2090
I've taken 10 AP's and got 3+ on all except World.
My Senior Schedule was:
AP English
AP Bio
AP Calculus BC
AP Government
AP Psychology
Art I (Required for graduation lol)</p>

<p>I'm planning to major in English lit/comp or philosophy and was wondering which colleges I should be looking at, I'm leaning toward LAC's but will consider universities as well.</p>

<p>^^ The Philosophical Gourmet Report is a qualitative assessment of GRADUATE programs.</p>

<p>^ All Universities.</p>

<p>OP, Can you afford being a full pay for a LAC or are you looking for some merit aid? Good schools for English include Kenyon and Denison. Just not sure about philosophy.</p>

<p>Thanks for the lists collegebiomed, but they weren't exactly what I was looking for. My GPA is a little lower at 3.55UW and was hoping to find good target schools, and giving that list a quick glance most of those schools would be reaches for me. Also as I said I'd prefer a LAC.</p>

<p>Erin's Dad, I checked out Kenyon and Denison and they fit fairly well with what I was looking for, what would you think my chances are for these schools (based on GPA and test scores).</p>

[Erin_s_Dad]

<p>I think Denison would be a match and Kenyon might be a high match/low reach.</p>
