<p>I’m looking for some schools to apply to in the RD round. I was deferred from Northeastern, Tulane, Boston College and Notre Dame.</p>

<p>Some stats:
ACT: 35 superscored
SAT: not sending to schools unless absolutely necessary
SAT II: I’ve taken 3, but haven’t scored too well on them. Highest was a 760 in French.
GPA: Unsure. I’ve had almost entirely A’s in all Honors and AP classes. My senior year schedule had to be overloaded to fit the number of APs I wanted to take. I do, however, have an F on my transcript in a Science elective from my junior year. The summer before senior year I went to summer school to make up the grade and get additional credits in Science.
Class Rank: Unsure- guessing top 15%. With ~20 valedictorians I’m not sure where I stand.

  • URM
  • Interested in International Relations/Poli. Sci.
  • Looking for a medium-sized school, open to state schools
  • Preferably on either coast- I want out of the Midwest ASAP
  • I don’t qualify for most financial aid, and cost is not a huge issue</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your help/advice</p>

<p>…bumping?</p>

<p>U of Maryland is a great school to consider. At first, it seems big, but their Honors program is like a small college and it’s terrific. My nephew goes there and loves it. Near DC, beautiful campus, lots going on. Your French SAT is great, as is the ACT. It’s discouraging to be deferred, but you’ll get in lots of places. It helps that you’re URM.</p>

<p>I looked at the UMaryland website- is there a specific campus that you would reccomend?</p>

<p>If you are Catholic, and I suspect you are…then look SERIOUSLY at Marquette, Saint Louis University, Fordham (either campus), Providence College, Loyola-Maryland, Loyola-Chicago…and since you looked at Tulane, then look at Loyola-New Orleans…which is right next door to Tulane, a very pretty campus and some AMAZING professors! They will throw money at you.</p>

<p>I live in Chicago, so Loyola-Chicago is kind of unappealing to me. I will look at all those other schools, though. Thank you so much!</p>
