Location/Region: City preferably, my dream has been to study in a city environment. East coast, however slightly further west is fine.
Major: CS and/or Finance, planning to pursue Quant.
GPA/Test Scores (optional):

Freshman Year: 2.9 (Did terribly, will be addressed in common app, as I struggled with family deaths and issues during the pandemic, leading me to do poorly).
Sophomore Year: 4.0
Junior Year (Sem 1): 4.8

SAT: 1520 (superscored) | 1480 (non-superscored)

Curriculum: Relatively rigorous, but not too rigorous where social life will be difficult.

Size: Not a big factor to me, but I'd prefer large classes.
** Costs:** No budget, can pay university by myself completely. Come from an upper class family.
**Schools you're currently looking at (if any): ** Georgetown, I'm a secondary legacy and I have previously done quant analysis research under a professor there.

"but not too rigorous where social life will be difficult." I would disagree with CMU for this reason

If you’re looking at Wharton l make sure you take calc bc and AP econ if your school offers it. Also depending on the selectivity of the school you want to apply to, esp if you’re a CS/finance major, getting a 770+ math (but preferably 800) would be the ideal.

Other than that I suggest Emory it has its own business undergrad school.

Wharton requires it

I can also take college classes to make up for BC, if that will help.
