Location/Region:

  • currently in nyc, considering some schools there but i don't want to live at home + housing/living costs are ridiculous
  • urban or suburban, i don't want to be in the middle of nowhere
  • east coast preferred

Major:

  • undecided, possibly pre-law or education?

GPA/Test Scores (optional):

  • 3.9 UW, SAT: haven't taken yet but most recent practice was 1430, aiming for 1500+

Curriculum:

  • good for students who have no clue what they want to do in the future
  • preferably rigorous but not to the point of crying to sleep
  • no grade deflation, i want to keep my options open for law school in the future

Size:

  • doesn't really matter to me, i feel that i'll work well both ways

Costs:

  • haven't really thought about it yet but my family is near poverty line so hopefully schools will cover most, if not all the cost? i don't know how financial aid works yet

Schools you're currently looking at (if any):

  • john jay college of criminal justice (it's a cuny, either a safety or a target for me?)
  • nyu (but ehhh, it's my mom's choice)
  • princeton (and legit every other ivy league) bc it's princeton and my mom is chasing prestige (bonus that it's kinda close to the city)
  • i'm a clueless first-gen
  • are there schools with good merit aid?

Additional:

  • i prefer coed colleges
  • preferably a sizable lgbtq population or at least lgbtq friendly (both the school and the general area)
