<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I’m an international senior currently doing my apps, but I have a few tough decisions to make regarding my college choices. I am somewhat undecided with my major, although a Physics/History double major seems most likely. My plan is to go to graduate school in the US (or my home country) to study Architecture (MArch I), Urban Planning/Design, or Civil Engineering. As such I want my undergraduate education to give me the best possible platform for preparing a grad school application to the top schools. </p>
<p>Colleges that I am deciding between:
Georgetown
Wash U
Northwestern
NYU
Haverford
Vassar</p>
<p>These are all very different schools, but they all appeal to me in their different ways. However, which schools would give me the best chance for graduate school? Given what I plan to pursue, is Georgetown a good option for my undergrad? </p>
<p>I’ve heard that science isn’t too great at GU, Washington and NYU and as a prospective physics major this is a little worrying. Is this a well-founded concern? </p>
<p>If I decided to pursue a graduate program in Architecture, I’d need to take a few art/art history classes. Are any of these colleges outstanding in this department?</p>
<p>Are there any other colleges that you suggest? I’ve looked at most LACs and the ones that I have listed, as well as Swarthmore, are what appeal to me the most. Pomona and Bowdoin seemed attractive choices, but I couldn’t picture myself there. I can’t apply to state schools as I need financial aid (roughly 25-50%).</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.</p>
