Need help finding a good private school

College Search & Lists

<p>Hi! I’m new to this site. I have been looking around and I can’t find a specific type of school that I’d like to apply to. I would like a private school that is generally big that is NOT liberal arts focused. I’d prefer that the school was in a big city or a suburb of a big city. I like the west coast and the east coasts mainly. I am hoping to have a major more focused in the maths and sciences. My dillema is that I’m applying to Wash U in St. Louis and Tufts, which are mostly reach schools, and Boston U, which is a target/safe school but I don’t really like the no-campus aspect of the school. </p>

<p>I’m also applying to plenty of public schools but I’d like to add just one more target private school to my list. My unweighted GPA is 3.66 (although I like to think that I’m smarter than that). My highest SAT’s are 800 in math, 600 in reading, 690 in writing. I got a 32 on my ACT, with a 31 subscore for writing. my SAT II’s are a 710 in math II and a 690 biology-m.</p>

<p>So please help me in finding a few good private schools that I can further reasearch to and hopefully apply to! Thank you.</p>
