GW, BU, and Syracuse may be pretty well-known, but don’t equate that with “best.” The best school for you may very well be one that you’ve never heard of! So it’s defiinitely a bad idea just to consider relatively well-known schools.

Do not ever equate prestige with quality. It’s what you do in college that counts, not where you go to college.

But definitely apply to some schools you are very likely to afford, like a local state school.

The previous posters made good suggestions, but if you’re asking for great schools, I could go on forever. That’s why you have to figure out what you want in college, and then go on from there.

Again, the house analogy: You wouldn’t ask us where the best house east of the Mississippi is! But if you asked, where can I get a house that fits 5 people and has a big garage in a state where I’ll get tons of snow and blah blah blah, you’re going to get better answers.

So after you give it some thought, you should come back and ask us something like Where can I find a this and this college in this location with this many people and so on?

That’s what everyone here’s doing.

If someone says that the best university is Hoolala University, just because it’s well-known, does not mean it’s best for you.

We don’t know very much about you or what you want, and until we do, we can’t be of very much help.
