My D24 just completed the admission process and only applied to schools that offered either Urban Planning and/or Geography. Her stats - 4.0 UW/4.4 W with 10 APs (all 5s so far), lots of ECs, volunteering, and varsity athlete. We are west coast so leaned heavy that direction but did apply to a few midwest and east coast school. Here’s where she applied:
- UC Davis - Sustainable Environment Design (great college town, very low key with a really nice student body)
- UC Berkeley - Urban Planning and Geography
- UCSB - Geography (GSI)
- UCLA - Geography
- USC - Urban Planning and Geodesign
- CU Boulder - Sustainable Environment Design
- San Diego State Univ - Urban Planning
- University of Oregon - Planning, Public Policy and Management
- University of Washington - Community Regional Planning
- UMich - Urban Technologies
- University of Richmond - Geography
- Cal Poly - Urban and City Planning (this is an amazing program and he should definitely explore)
- UVA - Urban Planning
I’m not adding a lot of color as it’s all very subjective - hoping this helps, and wishing your son lots of luck!
