<p>Sort of upward trend? Okay freshman year, terrible sophomore year, good junior + senior year</p>
<p>Higher than average, by the looks of it. What is your budget, where do you live, what kind of school (big/urban/univ/LAC?) and what do you want to study? These are fundamental questions we - and you - need to answer before looking for a school.</p>
<p>Oh dang it, forgot to put all that info. I live on the east coast.
The tuition alone preferably less than $20,000. Location…suburbia or smaller urban area. Oh, and not too er…socially conservative?
I’m not sure what I want to study- maybe linguistics, Chinese, international business…I’m not sure.</p>

<p>Ask your parents how much they’ll pay for tuition, fees, room, board, books, etc. We need to know what your college budget is. That will LARGELY determine where you should apply.</p>
<p>Do you want to stay on the eastern half of the country?</p>
<p>What is your math + CR breakdown of your SAT?</p>
<p>@mom2collegekids- My budget is $32,000 per year (for everything). If the sticker price is a little higher, I’ll apply if there’s a good chance I’ll get some aid.</p>
<p>And no, I’m open to the whole country. I’m also a junior (and this is where everyone stops reading the thread, I know) so I haven’t taken the actual SAT yet. According to practice tests, M will be around 670, CR around 620.</p>
<p>Take the SAT and the ACT as soon as you can to get some idea of what you’ll be doing with.</p>
<p>If you’re only concerned right now with the way your academics look on paper, I would say you look like an above average student in intelligence.</p>
<p>Pay a visit to the financial aid forum, and read up on merit aid. Also, have your parents run the Net Price Calculators at some college websites. That way you will know whether or not those places will expect your family to shell out more than $32,000 each year.</p>
<p>This figure will almost certainly cover costs at your own home-state public Us as well as OOS costs at a number of public Us in other states. You can use the college-matching search engines to identify places that are likely to fit your budget and where your GPA and scores are a good match.</p>
<p>not sure on your $$ situation , you sound like somebody who should check out butler university, university of evansville and drake university</p>
<p>Look at the SUNYs which are fairly affordable public Us, even if you’re OOS.</p>
