Which College? Bad situation?

I have a 3.846 GPA and I am ranked 10/402 in my class: top 2%. However, after taking the SAT’s mutiple times, I could only score a little above a 1700 or (close to 1200 on the old scale).

My extras are unheard of (amazing) and my recommendations are absolutely amazing as well, but I am still not sure where to look.

I dont want to go lower than South Carolina and I dont want to go past Chicago or Michigan.

Other wise, I dont care about size, etc

WHERE SHOULD I LOOK?

Apply to the best schools you can (top ranking). Look at US & World News rankings. See what happens. If your GPA and ECA’s and recommendations are as good as you think, your SAT shouldn’t matter that much.

I live in Virginia and if you like the idea of private school, we have a lot of religious affiliated ones. I wouldn’t reccommend Liberty but we have Emory and Henry College, Eastern Mennonite University, American University in Washington DC, and a bunch of other private ones. For public we have UVA (Charolettesville and Wise, I reccommend Charolettesville); Virginia State University; Radford University; and a “public ivy” William and Mary College.

If you like South Carolina, consider Clemson. You should get in, no problem. And it’s a great school – ranked 27th in the country this year out of public universities.

So you got an incredible GPA, an extravagant SAT scores, and an interesting.

Now it is up to you to decide where to go.

It is important that when you decide to go somewhere, that you decide that it is the place where you are going to be, concerning everything that you may want it to be. Not unless you are just going for your college degree. I have excellent schools in mind if you are interested: Drexel University, Duke University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Florida Institute of Technology, Norte Dame, University of Southern California, University of Maryland, Barry University, University of Miami, Florida State University.

First take a look of college within your area to give yourself an opportunity to explore all the possible choices that may benefit your costs, ability to move around. Then look for colleges outside of your areas from the suburban areas to the outer state. remember that colleges outside of your state means a change in the way you may live, because conditions vary from state to state. If the cost of the tutition is highly priced, then I would look at college that may provide special programs in my areas (my area is computer engineering) .. So I would look for places that I know would provide benefits and financial opportunities such as scholarships and a great deal of financial aid. Then you would look at the schools mission statement and goals. If they support yours, take a deeper look at the activities and school curriculum that they provide. If they match your ideals then check them if you are that interested. Check your contacts with other schools and go to your counselor to see if he or her might have some clue or a list of colleges that you might be interested in. If you like Ivy league college, they are on the east coast, if would like to go to the east. Just remember if you get stuff. Remember, what your goal is, and how you would plan to pursue your goals, and your heart will meet you to the finish line. If you are a science degree, many schools found on the coasts of the United States, even areas around the water might have Science degree offered in their respective universities. When in doubt, list down the top 30 interesting schools that you may want to go to and how can they influence you.

Stop worrying and calm down. It is not that serious. I have my B.A. and my Masters and when you finish, it really does not matter where you went. As long as you have the Degree and the credentials.

You are too young to be stressed. Calm down and relax.
