Top 6 College Choices
1.) Clarion University of Pennsylvania
When I was taking my CollegeBoard.com College MatchMaker, this university was one of my results. I added it to my list because it specializes in education and teacher’s certification. Teaching is something that I may want to do in the future. This school may not be my first choice, but it’s pretty close to home and I can definitely see myself having a good experience there.
I chose Cornell because, just looking at it’s CollegeBoard profile put me in awe. It is a great school with very high standards. I put it on my list as a goal for myself. It is hard to get into but, if I try my hardest, I think I have a chance of getting in. It also has a very good psychology program which is something I would like to major in.
3.) Drew University
Drew University is a relatively small school. I think that when I go to college, I would like to go to a smaller school so that I can get a better and more thorough education. Drew’s average class size is 20 students. Drew also has a very good psychology program which is what I will look for in schools.
4.) Montclair State University
Montclair State is a very good teaching school. Several people have told me that if I want to be a teacher, MSU is an excellent school to go to. It is literally one town over from my house so I would have to live at home. However, I kept it on my list just in case I decide that I do want to be a teacher.
Columbia is known for being a very good school. It is relatively hard to get into. But I see this as another goal for myself. I would like to see if I have the skills and knowledge to get into a school as good as Columbia. It has some of the things that I am interested in majoring in and it is in New York City which is an area that I would love to explore.
6.) Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
Edinboro looks like a very good school for me. It has the two majors I may want to follow: education and psychology. It also specializes in Elementary education which is what I would like to do. On top of that, it isn’t very far from home and it is relatively small. This is why it is one of my top 6 college choices.
