i am a hispanic middle eastern female with a high gpa (above 3.5, top 30% in my class), i'm in a lot of clubs and societies, i run the lit and art mag, i'm an award winning and published poet, i volunteer and i have a job. i plan on majoring in International Affairs and Relations and Political Science and Government with a minor in english. what are good schools for me? I have no idea where i want to go. I live in NJ and can't go farther than SC south, and Michigan west according to my father, i also can't go anywhere rated below Rutgers on any list. Thanks.

1. harvard
2. go on collegeboard.com you can see all of the colleges and their acceptence rate and a lot of other stuff.
3. Just apply for good collages like harvard and go to your favorite one out of the ones you are accepted to.
4. Use the college search on princetonreview.com and also talk to you guidance counselor
5. Your stats seem really good... it depends on what type of college you feel you'd be comfortable going to. Start with the more obvious questions, like small school or large? Work from there. There are loads of incredible colleges, including Rutgers (although I think you could do even better that that), that are in the northeast. Besides the Ivy's there are larger private universities (such as NYU), and really small schools (like Amherst College), all of which are very competative. There are loads of quizzes and things to help you get started... two places to check out for help are collegeboard.com and sparknotes.com. I recommend sparknotes, just because it's more user-friendly. Good luck!!
6. La Universidad de Arizona! U of A rocks! GO Wildcats
7. You sound like a good fit for a place like Boston U or Penn State. Other schools you might want to look at are University of Maryland, George washington, maybe georgetown. If you look at the princeton Review they have a neat little program that will take all of your preferences and your hs statistics and see what colleges are your best fit. That may help.
8. You sound like a perfect fit for Washington College in Maryland. It has a world class lit and writing program, and has a very solid international affairs focus, with a new set of Arabic classes just added. They also have a lot of PoliSci profs who have great connections in DC, and it's in a beautiful rural area between Philadelphia and Washington DC. There are lots of students here from NJ, too, so you'll feel right at home. And I bet you'll qualify for a scholarship too. Come visit and see how you like it.
9. Georgetown, but I think you should get your GPA up a bit...and if you aren't already, you should take honors and AP classes if you can. Prep for the SATs and Subject Tests (if you're shooting for the "top" schools). Indeed, you should use some of the programs available on the websites mentioned. GOOD LUCK to you!
