If you could post a few schools (matches and reaches) that you think I should look at I would really appreciate it. I'm interested in economics. Thanks for your help. I know there are a lot of schools out there and I'm not being specific, but if you could name a few it would be great. |

Depending on where you're from, you might also consider Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Wustl, or Claremont McKenna.
Duke, I believe, is too much of a stretch. |

wake forest doesn't require sats but then again, its a total shithole. i'd rather go to babson.

Date: August 4th, 2008 12:02 AM Author: Sepia temple immigrant My concern here is that you are likely to change majors upon arriving to college. Most of us do. So, while going to schools that are solid in economics isn't a bad idea, you may wish to think about getting a good education, period. The rest will come to you.
As for your qualifications, there are tons of great schools that might interest you, big and small. On the small side you might want to look at Occidental, Kenyon, Oberlin, Connecticut College, Vassar and Haverford. On the bigger end, you may want to consider the University of Michigan, University of Virginia, and the University of Illinois. For middle sized schools, look at the University of Rochester, Case Western Reserve, Emory, Brandeis, Tufts, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt and William & Mary.
You can get an excellent education (and then some) at all of these schools.
Best of success to you. |

sorry, just being honest. |

|
Date: August 5th, 2008 4:05 PM Author: exhilarant church building karate I agree with you that I don't have the numbers for dartmouth. And I don't need where I go to fit in with my political beliefs. That would really limit me when it comes to colleges. I am interested in washington & lee though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=841474&forum_id=1#10038591) |

Date: August 5th, 2008 10:48 PM Author: Galvanic overrated old irish cottage mood Your safeties should be Boston College; Boston University is easier to get into. I think your reach schools would be, if your a prep, Rice U, Trinity College, and Vanderbilt.
I'm pretty certain you'd get into these, and they all have fine reputations.
Your GPA might be low without the weight. Please write an impressive essay.
Questions? Where do you live? What schools have YOU heard of? (my guidance counselor had me write my own list, and that got me researching)
