- **Location/Region:** I’d love to go out of state! Preferably an urban environment (sorry i didnt see this part until the end); anywhere in the US really but realistically somewhere not too far from home (pittsburgh), maybe ~12 hours drive if a bit less - **Major:** Urban Planning, Geography, Architecture (not a b.arch), Environmental Studies(?) - **GPA/Test Scores:** 4.74 W, 3.95 UW ; 1280 PSAT 10, my PSAT scores from this year didnt come yet😞 - **Curriculum:** A photography club would be pretty cool - **Size:** Doesn’t matter - **Costs:** My parents make too much for aid i assume but cost will still be really considered; its not a limiting factor - **Schools You're Currently Looking At:** My reaches are USC, UChicago; Targets are UWash, Pitt, and Maryland-College Park; Safeties im a bit lost on but I have uvermont and temple atm - **Additional:** I’m really looking for an urban environment with decent public transportation, nice architecture and a campus feel without being too suburban; I’ve toured uchicago and it was literally perfection, we toured depaul too but it felt too integrated into the urban fabric
