Hello,
Basically the question is above. I am looking mainly at liberal art colleges. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!
GPA: 3.95 (UW)
By end of senior year will have: 5 AP and 2-3 college course at a pretty highly regarded university
AP Scores:
AP US- 5, AP Art History-5, AP Language- 4
SAT: 1900 (I am going to try the ACT)
SAT II: US History- 790, Lit.- 700, (take more later...)
Type of School: I attend a school that is part of the worst public school system in the nation, but my own school sends its top grads to good schools (is this bad for admissions?)
Rank: 3 out of 111
Interests: English, maybe minor in a language
State Residency: Not in-state for any of the schools mentioned
Ex:

You have a great GPA and SAT score, so you have plenty of options. Some great liberal arts schools that seem to fit what you want include Gettysburg, Marist, Dartmouth, Amherst College, Vassar, Colgate, Hamilton, Bates College, Swarthmore College, and UVA. Most of these schools are very competitive, but a degree from any of them will result in an amazing career.



GOOD LUCK!

Congratulations! I went to the college of California, Davis (classification of 2003). important recommendations have been beginning my eyes to connections between the relatively some disciplines i strengthen into reading. As you progression by way of your common coaching standards (i.e., decrease branch classes exterior your important portion of learn), you will likely observe some commonalities, comparable veins of concept, and one consistent that i will by no ability forget: each and every thing you learn involves a learn of history, be it often or the particular history of the region handy. The greater you may get excitement from how your important suits into the greater effective image of human history, the greater pleasing and enriching your college journey would be. Have a large time, and better of luck to you!
