So I thought I knew what I wanted: big, football, BIG…and well that was really all I knew…I hadn’t done much real thinking yet. Then I visited Emory and it was perfect, I loved it!

Here is what I am looking for:
-medium-large school (public or private)
-preferably in Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Region
-good history program
-good graduate school placement (looking into Law currently)
-near a big city (nothing out in the middle of nowhere!)
-decent size Jewish population (VERY important)
-good student:teacher ratio–I want to be able to contact my professors (I know you can really do this at any size school, though)

Okay, that pretty much sums it up
Here are some quick stats: 3.82UW, Top 2%, 32 ACT (retaking in September, confident on a higher score), okay ECs(I’ve moved a lot), good recs, and I think I’m a pretty good writer so essays should be good!

Here is my current list:
Definitely applying to: NYU, Emory, Indiana (safety)
Applying pending on visit: Tufts, Brandeis, Northwestern(?! don’t really know)
Iffy: Michigan, Wisconsin

I’m visiting the NE/Mid-Atlantic in a few weeks so I should be able to visit a good number of schools.

Please help me!!! I would love safety/match/reach schools
