(snow to be expected so email Office of Disability for accomodations)
Allegheny
Barnard (in NYC, very compact campus)
Colby
Connecticut College
Dickinson
Earlham
Kenyon
Macalester (very very cold but compact campus and due to weather being “norm”, well-organized for it)
Quinipiac
Skidmore
UPittsburgh (cold but compact campus)
Urochester (very cold but great for neuroscience)
Wellesley
Wesleyan
Wooster</p>
<p>(Warm weather)
College of William and Mary

<p>last/this year we did pre-calculus (inequalities, equalities, functions, logarithm, trigonometry) and next year will be calculus (we call it “analysis” - limits and these kind of things…)</p>
<p>That’s a nice program, yes I like it. Thanks!</p>
<p>I am skimming through the list. Right now I do really like the neuroscience program at Rhodes, but it will be a low match for me - maybe a reach (due to my poor math score). Is it even worth to apply?</p>
<p>I narrowed that list to 2 schools (plus, all the others I already considered :D)</p>
<p>ALLEGHENY
RHODES </p>
<p>I guess they are both matches for me. </p>
<p>As I compare the programs/housing options/disability service of these with the other colleges I have, do you know something about these two? (surrounding city/distance from major city with public transportation or college shuttles/everything else)</p>
<p>Ah also, I probably will be double majoring. Is it that difficult/stressing? (this goes for every univ)</p>
<p>Rhodes in the middle of a big city and it has partnerships with a prestigious research hospital there, which would be very relevant to someone interested in cognitive/neuroscience. Compact campus. Very “Greek”, more conservative.
Allegheny is more isolated, very pretty campus, friendly people, attracts students who love interdisciplinarity (double majoring or having a major PLUS a minor in another field is actually a requirement).</p>
<p>I am emailing all the schools to know which accomodations they have for disabled students.
In the meantime, I noticed that my list was composed of 12 schools, and the number, instead of going down, went up. hahahahahahhahahahaha</p>
<p>Do you have suggestions on what to keep or eliminate?
I prefer schools in the main city/where there are concerts or events, or in little places well connected with big cities. Low crime rate would be a good thing (but I know that big city = crime)
Lots of activities/research for undergrads is appreciated.</p>
<p>I’d cut out UT Dallas. I’d replace Regis with UDenver (or totally) and UCR with Chapman or another California private that has your major. Note that UCSC is a safety but I’d remove it because it’s superb campus is essentially a wooded hill, which would make it very hard to navigate for you. Replace UCI with UCD if you can - Davis is totally flat and they do research that may interest you.
<a href=“Helping Disabled People Walk Again - YouTube”>Helping Disabled People Walk Again - YouTube;
<p>Chapman doesn’t offer the major I want, unfortunally.
UCSC apparently has a good transportation system for the disabled - and has a good cog sci program. I’ll think about it anyway.</p>
<p>UDenver is very nice! I really like it.
The link you gave me is about Dublin - is that what you wanted?</p>
<p>And are there particular reasons about why should I remove UTDallas? (actually I was thinking about removing UTAustin. Dallas has the program I want, Austin doesn’t )</p>
<p>I copied the wrong link but I corrected it above. At least I hope! Its title should be “Helping Disabled People Walk Again”.
If UCSC has a good transportation system for the disabled, then, perfect. The campus really is gorgeous and if the cog sci program is great, then don’t worry about what I said.
UT Dallas is less good than UT Austin, the town of Austin is so much nicer for college students than Dallas. If you have a large university in Texas on your list, Austin is a better choice, but ymmv.
Note that Texas heat can be oppressive, very very humid (like when it’s about to storm in the summer, only much worse. You walk outside and you’re covered in sweat. It feels like walking into a hammam.) I’m mentioning this just so you know, as many internationals think it’s hot “thus” dry. It may not matter to you at all!</p>
<p>What about Middlebury? not urban and very cold, so contact them as to disability accommodations and how much is available to do on campus every weekend, but excellent LAC.
What about Carleton (same as above), Hamilton (same as above), Vassar (same as above but 1h30 from NYC on a train), Occidental (in CA, big city), Rice (in TX, big city), Vanderbilt (TN, big city)
I remembered that you could walk, but I figured that having walking difficulties would make you interested in the connection between robotics, the human body, and the human mind.</p>
<p>True. That 1910 SAT score is going to hurt you even if you’re a non native speaker and are full pay. Can you take the ACT in September, to see if you’d do better?
I’d keep Occidental though, as an extra reach, if you can afford the application fees.</p>
<p>True. Since we’re now on page 7 I’d forgotten the details of your scores so I went and checked.
That 1910 SAT score is going to hurt you even if you’re a non native speaker and are full pay. I’d keep Occidental though because you’re basically within range for it.</p>
<p>What could be a good score?
It’s very unlikely i will be able to take test nexy year, i don’t really know. I might score higher in the sat (i was expecting +1900 but again i panicked). For the act, I don’t know.</p>
<p>So many of the schools listed in post #80 should not be considered…quite simply, your stats coupled with your international status will make these unattainable. Based upon your stats and desire to attend a school in a warmer climate, I would suggest the following:</p>
<p>SMU
TCU
Trinity University
Rhodes
Sewanee
Elon
U of Richmond
College of Charleston
Furman
Arizona State
U of Oklahoma
U of Alabama
Auburn
U of South Carolina</p>
<p>You need at least 50 more points.
Why did you panic?
Check out a sample ACT test, see if you couldn’t do better. There are more questions in less time so it’s more rushed, but you don’t lose points for guessing and it more closely relates to what you’re used to in liceo scientifico.</p>
<p>@jc40 Thanks, i will check them out!
@MYOS1634 If only i had known this back when I decided to take the sat!
I will try a practice test as soon as possible, but still I’m not sure I can take the test.
I’m also very confident in the fact that I can get up the SAT. I actually expected a +650 math so…
I will retake another practice test asap.</p>

so I went and checked.
