well here's the deal. I'm going into my senior year. I got an 1150 on my SATs not counting writing(580 on that) and my gpa is around a 3.4(~89 weighted). I'm leaning towards a major in either business, math, or maybe history. I live in NJ but establishing residency in NY is possible(grandma lives there). So far I have visited Binghamton and Ithaca. Ithaca cannot be on my list due to the exorbitant cost of tuition(~32k a year in tuition). Binghamton is about 20k a year for out-of-state, but it's about 15k a year in-state. I have plenty of schools on my mind that I plan to visit that are somewhat close to home, i.e. Iona, Ramapo, St. John's, St. Peter's.
Money is a big issue, obviously. If I dorm, it shouldn't be too expensive.
I don't want to go to far. Even a school like Binghamton is a stretch in terms of distance(2 1/2 hours). I prefer a school that I'll already know a fair amount of people that I go to school with.
If it's private, it should be a school that gives a fair amount of money(not a private school that is a reach, but more of a safety school).
what would you guys say is a good bet for me?
