College Ideas (Not asking for chances just recommendations in my league)
Hi my name is Mark! I was wondering if there are any top 50 colleges that aren't in a city but like 15-30 minutes outside of it preferably not in the deep south with 5k+ people. Here are my stats:
3.73 GPA/4.28 WGPA (7 APs and 7 Honors at the end of senior year)
28 ACT
VERY Good Extracurriculars (like really good)
VERY Good Letters of Recommendation (like really good)
I understand this is a huge ask but if you have an idea, that would be a great help!
Hey Mark! I totally get what you’re looking for. Some colleges you might want to check out are the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, and Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, since they have awesome campuses a bit outside of cities. You could also consider Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, or Baylor University in Waco, Texas; they both have solid reputations. James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, is another great option with a fun campus vibe. If you’re into liberal arts, Colby College in Waterville, Maine, and Union College in Schenectady, New York, are pretty cool too. Just make sure to look into their programs and see where you’d fit best! Good luck!
