<p>I got rejected from NYU ED and now am looking for colleges to apply to. In a way, I felt like the rejection helped me realize that there are so many colleges out there that I have never even considered before that could be better for me. I can’t visit the colleges, so I gotta apply based on the perception of others and the location.</p>
<p>I’m looking to major in Economics and follow a pre-med track. I don’t know where to start so I used the collegeboard match thing and out of the hundred-something colleges, it came down to:
Fordham University Lincoln Center
Boston University
Eugene Lang The New School
Loyola Marymount University
Northeastern University
Pepperdine University
Claremont McKenna College
Pitzer College
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
Sarah Lawrence</p>
<p>I’m open to any colleges, affliated with some religion or not (personally I’m not religious but I don’t mind), LACs, etc. I’m afraid that the religious schools could be too conservative and that’s one of my main concerns.</p>
<p>In terms of research, how good are LACs compared to say, BU? I know that BU is a large research school but I have heard that being in a small college is better because you actually get to do stuff, not just dirty work counted as research.</p>
<p>SAT: 1300/1860 (600 CR 700 Math 560 Writing) - terrible, I know!
SAT II: 690 Math II, 710 Chinese, 540 Lit (haha, what a joke.)
Rank: 24/151 in my year, 12/57 in my class
Average: 78.87, school doesn’t do GPA
School: Private, top in state
great ECs compared to the average student here, 2-3 volunteering activities, no work experience, 6 languages, first kid to go to college and not asking for financial aid.</p>
<p>essay is good, recs are good.</p>
<p>So I’m asking: Is this a good list? Does anyone have any suggestions on where I would have a chance of getting in?</p>
<p>I got an email saying that I qualify for a $12,500/yr scholarship at University of Evansville if I apply, but I don’t really want to go there. Could it be a safety school?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
