<p>Hello again my CC friends.Yesterday i recived an e-mail from a friend .He learned about my “success” here in great land of america and now wants to study.
he is from caracas Venezuela
Has 26 ACT
245TOEFL
GPA:B+(according to him).
My question is(well he’s question is) which good universities do you think he should apply?
he wants to major in biology or architecture.</p>

2

<p>depends on his financial situation…
Is he applying for fin. aid?</p>

3

<p>He told me his parents are willing to pay 25 K year…Financial aid would be welcomed</p>

<p>For 25 K you can either go to cheap private colleges in rural areas where housing is cheap (but better colleges usually aren’t cheap), or to a big public university with lower tuition rates than private colleges. He most likely wouldn’t be a candidate for financial aid, neither merit- nor need-based.</p>

<p>You might use the college search engine at <a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D”>www.collegeboard.com</a> to find a good match for your friend.</p>

<p>Could anyone just give me a short list regardless of financial aid.The reason why i’m asking this because i don’t trust those college search website(they listed cornell, berkeley, brown , as a match when i did) and i don’t know what to suggest him( i’m only familiar with ivy league and other very selective colleges)</p>

<p>I would use a search engine that does not rate your chances. If your friend does not require any financial aid, simply go with the SAT or ACT statistics of the college.
I just ran a search at Collegeboard using the following parameters: four-year, on-campus housing available, biology + architecture majors offered, ACT 26, SAT 1200, GPA > 3.0, Out-of-state Tuition < 15 K
The search returned the following 10 results:
(Searching without GPA returns 30 results)</p>

<p>California Polytechnic State University: San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, CA </p>

<p>Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College
Baton Rouge, LA</p>

<p>North Dakota State University
Fargo, ND </p>

<p>Oklahoma State University
Stillwater, OK </p>

<p>University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ </p>

<p>University of Arkansas
Fayetteville, AR </p>

<p>University of Idaho
Moscow, ID</p>

<p>University of Kentucky
Lexington, KY </p>

<p>University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Charlotte, NC</p>

<p>University of Utah
Salt Lake City, UT</p>

<p>Wow, the University of Arizona seems the best out of the lot. I actually thought their requirements were much higher, but that’s good news for you.</p>

<p>I’d pick either Arizona, North Carolina or Cal Poly.</p>
