One of the reasons I want to get out of California is because I don't like it here. I've been to just about every notable area of California and stayed there. San Diego, San Bernardino County, LA, and San Jose. Just doesn't seem right for me, and I like the east coast. As for campus culture, though I'm not a great student, I tend to avoid being social, and I'm not really big on school spirit. That said, I'm not going to choose a school where I think that I would feel uncomfortable in. I like the bigger universities because I get to make more connections with other people and see other points of view. what's this? wanna get out of the west coast? need a big university? dont need social scenes or school spirit? want to do econ? NO PROBLEM, uchicago has all you need fun goes to die here we also have a starcraft club although expect your gpa to be shitty | ||

I just want to be in the New England area, and my sister has been pressuring me to early action with Chicago. | ||

Not sure if you can get into either with a 3.5 GPA; would have to look at your extracurriculars and SAT. You can easily get into UMD though. Side note, wouldn't really count UMD as a New England experience or Georgetown for that matter but the area is nice. | ||

I wonder why no one mentioned it...should be good for you. 3.5/2030+good sat II grades I think you have a fair shot. | ||

No joke~ NYU offered me more money than I was expecting, and I happen to know the financial aid is more than a lot of my friends from similar (read, exact) socioeconomic backgrounds at colleges including UPenn and Cornell. | ||

One school I would not consider (other than NYU; honestly, this place sucks- most people I have spoken to like it much less than when they got here. The idea of it is much nicer, though admittedly I'm the only one who despises it so intensely) is JHU. My GPA/SATs weren't much higher and I folded their acceptance letter into a paper airplane when I saw I got into Rutgers (<- true story). Safety at best. | ||

SAT Critical Reading: 630 - 740 SAT Math: 660 - 770 SAT Writing: 640 - 740 ACT Composite: 29 - 33 Even if you boost your SAT score, it'll be difficult with little or no extracurriculars. | ||
