<p>Well, there’s my life over the past four years. My dream colleges are UCLA - USC and UVA - but I’m curious as to what schools you all recommend for me.</p>

2

<p>I wish that people who are looking for suggestions would post what they want to do in college and what type of college they’re looking for. It would hellp a lot.</p>

<p>Hey sorry - I thought that what I gave was too much information- but if you want more:
Ideally I want to enter into a business or econ major with a minor in writing, though as opposed to business I may major in political science. I know there’s a ton of competition in these areas for most UC’s however I’m not sure about UVA.
College wise, I dont mind going to a large or medium school- but prefer not to go to an extremely small size. Not saying I want to go there, but Dartmouth’s size is absolutely perfect. There has to be some type of sport, and a very close teacher student relationship. Hopefully some overseas opportunities, and a greek system, but neither are a neccessity. Dorm wise anything goes, and if you give me suggestions I’ll narrow down the schools, just wondering what you think I should be looking at.</p>

<p>off the top of my head, bentley and babson might be good schools for you – you should check them out…if you could raise your SATs a bit you would open up a lot more doors i think</p>

5

<p>check colleges that change lives.</p>

6

<p>What state do u live in dawwg</p>

7

<p>and how about student body? diverse or not? also do u want more of one ethnicity? campus location (urban/rural)?</p>

8

<p>You should look at UC Davis, whch has a good economics department and will be easier to get into than either UCLA or USC. Also consider UC Merced and UOP.</p>

<p>Business and econ are two very different majors, and many fine schools don’t offer business.</p>

<p>I live in California currently, and don’t have any preference to the area of the school - so long as it’s not a dismal campus. Diversity wise- I’m open to anything.</p>
