How much can you and your family afford? What part are of the country? Large/Small/LAC/Public/Private etc…? Need some criteria besides Match schools. Home State?
Start with your in-state publics.
Just using the SuperMatch tool (http://www.collegeconfidential.com/college_search/) and putting in your stats (2200 SAT + 3.9 GPA) and criteria (Medium, Large or Very Large; Private), I got the following list:
Penn, Columbia, Brown, Yale, Notre Dame, Harvard, Washington University in St. Louis, Princeton, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford, Duke, Emory, Tufts, Georgetown, USC, CMU, Case Western Reserve University, Dartmouth, BC.
If you cross of the obvious reaches-for-anyone it’s not a bad list to start with. If you let us know which schools appeal to you we might be able to scare up some more like them (e.g. U of Rochester if you like WashU; Villanova if you like BC and ND).
Out of the SuperMatch school list, I am looking most at Duke, CWRU, Penn, Emory, and WashU.
CWRU is a legacy school, but I really am looking at either Duke or Penn, even though
my chances are questionable.
UMD costs $25,000 per year. Is that the amount your parents will give you for college each year?
You need to know what your family’s EFC will be. Run the NPC for a school like Duke or WashU. Note if your family makes in the $150,000-$180,000 plus range, your EFC will be high. Will you have siblings in college at the same time?
If your family’s EFC is $25,000 at these schools, then you are in good shape BUT if your family’s EFC is $60,000 then you need to apply to schools that offer merit scholarships. Note the Ivies are more generous to familes making up to $200,000
Fortunately you have the stats for merit scholarships at schools that offer them.
In summary, decide if a meet-full-needs school is right for you (Ivies, Duke, some LACS, Stanford, etc.) or decide if you should pursue a merit scholarship (Tulane, Vandy and Duke for a few people, Case Western).
