Question Posted Tuesday November 28 2006, 11:22 pm
I'm a sophmore in high school, and i'm starting to think about college. How big is a "medium" sized school? And also, can anyone make a suggestion of a good school (i go to a private school, my grades- on average are B/ B+ (with a few A's and 1 C.) Cost doesn't matter. And preferrably on the east cost (i currently live in NY/ and would prefere not to go out to say California...but i havent totally ruled going far away out yet.)
THANKS SOO MUCH!!!

the college search is a very difficult one and remember that your grades are decent but all some schools are really tough (harvard, yale, princeton) so it would be good to have maybe 3 or 4 schools you might like to go to in case your first choice says no. happy hunting [ rick505's advice column | Ask rick505 A Question ]

State schools will most likely be your best bet. Maaaaybe some newer private schools, if you're lucky.
