  • Match??
  • Reach??

What is your budget?

What math class will you have senior year?

Have you talked with your HS counselor for help with a list? Does your school use Naviance or Scoir? If so, use those scattergrams to help you categorize schools as safety/highly likely/target/reach.

Depending on your answers to the above, you might consider URI, Bryant, UNH, Suffolk, Wheaton college, U Conn, U Maine to start with.

Thank you for a great response.

Will be taking precalculus senior year. Will be looking at all price ranges for college.

If you say you’re looking at all price ranges, so you can afford $95K a year?

In addition to suggestions above, you might take a crack at Bentley as a slight reach - which is a business focused school. You can also look at U Hartford, Quinnipiac, Rhode Island College (although I don’t see an issue with URI), UNH, and Western New England.

Are you looking for a small or large school? What kind of vibe? On the small side, Endicott or Dean might work?

Looking for medium sized school. Thank you for the suggestions. Adding them to my list

Have money saved for college so have options while choosing. I thought Bentley too as a reach. Thank you

Is a Catholic school ok since you went? How about Iona or Sacred Heart - Iona is a total safety.

Or Marist - mid size, nice school.

OK - Iona and Marist are out of New England…barely.
