Here is some more info about me and some of my preferences
Income: (85k); My parents say they will pay for my college but they haven’t given me a maximum price which isn’t very helpful
African-American; Both parents are immigrants from the Ivory Coast
GPA: 3.7 UW/4.3 W taking the most rigourous courseload at a “highly rated” public school in Missouri. School offers a lot more honors and CC than APs. Also sends a couple of kids to T20 schools every year
ACT: 31(33E, 35R, 30S, 27M) Took it once but confident I could get a 33+ with a little bit of prep. Only need 5 points
APs: Euro(5), US History(4), Chemistry (3);Senior - Calc AB, Gov, Psych, Lang
Rank: 23/377; like top 5-6%

Preferences:
Want to feel like I’m on a college campus but have easy access to the city
Don’t like campuses like NYU’s that is all over the city
Internships within a reasonable distance of the school
Good alumni network
Study abroad opportunities
Social scene; greek life is an added bonus
Cooperative over cutthroat environment
I prefer mid to large sized unis(tiebreaker)
Would like to go either North or West(tiebreaker)
Prefer an actual business school to economics(weak)
