Where to look?!

yanks, your profile would qualify you for just about any college. (There are no guarantees of course, so don’t skip the obvious: add a few less selectives to your list!)

All colleges are fun. Hang out and have fun is what college students do. The point is to find schools that fit you. Size, location, social scene, politics, diversity – all play in the total personality of a school. Once you start looking (hopefully visiting) you’ll get a better idea of what suits you. For example, Georgetown and Dartmouth, while both very good schools, are very different in physical surroundings.

You’ve been given some good names. I’d also add some of the Big U’s like Michigan and North Carolina and some of the LACs like Williams and Amherst.

Definitely contact the coaches and don’t forget those safeties! Even though you’re well qualified you’re coming from a crowded demographic and competition will be fierce.
