I’m willing to go about 5 hours (driving) away from western Mass. The same friend (much lower GPA and test scores than me but we seem to be similar regarding what we like in a college) who recommended Quinnipiac visited Syracuse as a possible reach and said it was too big and urban for him.

About Cornell: It sounds good, but is it even worth applying since it’s so selective? With my GPA I think Ivies are out of the question. I know Amherst is even harder to get into, but it’s by far my first choice. Not sure about Wesleyan although I did enjoy my visit. You said Cornell was relaxed. Can you expand on that since it’s got so many students? How would it compare to the feeling of a liberal arts college?
