Hi there. Just received my admissions decision yesterday, and it was bad news: rejected. It was my to school, and now Im not sure I love any of my other options. I really liked University of Michigan, and Madison, but both are a little too big for me. I want to stay in the midwest, or close to. My ideal school was NU: mid-sized, strong academics, near a big city, and just… perfect. Wasn’t meant to be though, I guess.

I’m a good student, 32 ACT, 4.3 GPA, with numerous volunteer and leadership positions, along with academic and personal awards. I’ve currently applied to U of Michigan, Madison, UChicago, and Colorado College.

Any other schools I should check out? I am really worried I won’t get into any of my choices, and even if I do, will I really want to attend?

Thanks!
