<p>Hi I’m a senior at Moon Area High School (I believe we are now a top ten public school in PA) and I was wondering what kind of schools you think I could get into. Here’s my credentials</p>

<p>White, Male
GPA: 3.81 (W) 3.57 (UW)
SAT: 670 M 630 W 630 CR
Class Decile Rank: 2/10 (I’m anywhere from top 11%-20% my school does not specify) of 286 students
Honors: 9 honors classes over first 3 years
AP: AP Chemistry (senior year) AP Gov (senior year) and AP Euro (junior year, 3 on the exam)
Senior year schedule: AP Gov, CHS Physics (through the university of pittsburgh), reading writing workshop, british liteature, contemporary nonfiction, team sports (gym), calculus, AP Chemistry

Volunteer: Concession stand worker for Moon Band, scoreboard operator for moon football, baseball assistant coach
Extracurricular Activities: 4 years of inline hockey, 2 years philosophy club, 1 year robotics club, 1 year world cultures club, 2 years salesperson at sheetz</p>

<p>So far I’ve been accepted to Pitt, applied to Penn State (I asked an admissions officer during my visit and they said it would be an absolute shock if I was denied) and I’ve been kinda unsure after that. I’ve been contemplating NYU but I feel my GPA is too low. Are there any schools, preferably in the Northeastern United States, that I should consider? I’m looking for a bigger school that is a high ranked as possible. My intended major is finance and I may also consider law school down the road.
Any help is appreciated</p>

<p>have you run the net price calculators at any of the schools? It’s one thing to get in and another to be able to afford a school.</p>

<p>I don’t like disclosing financial information, but let’s say my dad make very good money and I have a lot of money saved in the bank from my job and money from parents and grandparetns. There are few places I will rule out solely because of cost</p>

<p>I’m just looking for ways to narrow down the search, and for most students the best way is to ask about affordability.</p>

<p>Babson, Fordham, Holy Cross, Bryant, Manhattan College, Providence, Alfred, Syracuse, RIT, Sarah Lawrence, Union, Bennington, Stony Brook, Stonehill, Clark, Siena, Hobart & WS, Bates, Albany, Hampshire, Binghamton, Quinnipiac, Ithaca, Bentley, LeMoyne, Connecticut College, New School, URI, Rhode Island, CUNY, UMass, NCST, WVU, Virginia Tech, VCU, Rutgers, UMD-CP, UConn.</p>

<p>I’ve put some 2000-3000 u/g schools in there, but I wanted get some more reputable schools in there. I think the best of these schools for finance, or business in general, particularly associated with compsci, is UMD-CP.</p>

<p>I appreciate the help. I’ve actually visited a UMD-CP for a STEM program with my high school. Thank you for your time and effort :slight_smile: </p>
