I’ll be honest. I just like history and see it as a very versatile subject, but I’m not too sure of my career plans. I like the idea of William & Mary, but I’m not in state and I don’t think I can afford OOS public. All I’m gonna say is I live in a state with a mediocre flagship university, but I qualify for a lot of financial aid at most private universities. My GPA is 4.5 weighted, 3.95 unweighted. Don’t have test scores yet, but PSAT was 1370. I prefer somewhere warm and in a city, but with an enclosed campus. I don’t want somewhere too conservative or too “preppy”. My parents want me to go to a top prestigious university. I’m just wondering whether going to somewhere like Rice, JHU, Emory, or Vanderbilt would be a good idea even if those schools aren’t particularly known for history.
