You have a good shot at getting into a highly rated school if you keep taking honors classes and doing well. You can certainly get into a school that is better than anything in Arizona or Ohio.

Priceton Review has a tool where you enter information about your background and interests & it suggests schools for you. I’ve provided the link below.

Most of the Big Ten schools meet your criteria quite well. Northwestern is the strongest academically, and you would probably be admitted. North Carolina and Vanderbilt would be good choices, too. Rice, if you don’t mind a slightly smaller school, Duke if you don’t mind a school with a nominal religious affiliation that has very little impact on campus life. Cornell would be worth trying, too.

But really, the school that probably meets all your requirements except that it’s west of Arizona is USC. Are you sure you don’t want to go to California?

get a job.. save up money and possibly live upstairs so my parents cannot force me to do anything since im paying my own rent etc.. we live in a big house full of family members only thus no conflict between anyonein the house. this house has idk maybe 20 bedroom it’s 2 stories 6 car garage 8 if you count the side of the house. etc.. and plus we own the house so realy i rather keep it in the family then anything else especially since it’s in town and easy access anywhere. i am studying culinary arts. im still trying to just finish up my pre reqs first though i should be done with all my pre reqs this year and some of my culinary courses. but my pre reqs are the one thing i hate atm. culinary classes are more hands on then anything and funner then simple old math etc.. i have already finished my english courses and just need Math, Science, and Speech. the rest are all culinary courses and recquire a uniform everyday which is also the main reason why i want to only take culinary courses all at one rather then going in a uniform all day.

Yeah, you can get into quite a good school. The football team/size requirements might be a problem, because usually the best schools in the country are smaller and/or don’t have a (good) football team.

Try: Brandeis, Cornell, McGill (in Canada), Dartmouth, Emory

university of arizona

if you can handle the heat

strong sport teams, tons of activities and a jewish center on campus

Your criteria are still really broad . . . try running your information through a site like http://princetonreview.com/college/research/articles/collegeschomatch.asp to narrow your options.
