What is a good college to go to?

well that is a veryyyy broad question, in or out of the US??? uh...that account for ALL the colleges in the world that is (well...pretty decent since you have 4.0 gpa). let's assume that you want to go to college in the US, then Brown, Georgetown, Washington Univ, Washington Univ in St. Louis, NYU, Northwestern, UCSD, UCLA, Duke, UChicago, UMichigan, UTexas--Austin, UVirginia, too many to list out lol.

A lot of the schools that are relatively hard to get into (such as the Ivy Leagues, Notre Dame and Georgetown) ONLY provide need-based aid. They can fill up their class rosters with highly capable people who can pay their own way (via their parents) or who require need-based aid. However, there are a lot of American schools that provide merit-based aid. Here is a partial list of schools:

Most state universities offer merit scholarships as well, using them as lures to attract out-of-state students or retain top students from their own states.

Yes there a few schools wherein you'll take the ones sorts of categories, however they're most of the time the group university ones. four 12 months tuition ones require a kind, probably cash to use, and essays. I had taken a cake redecorating magnificence as soon as at a group university. And sure, I did meet my partner at university. It used to be our freshman 12 months at Michigan State University. We are supposed for every different!

I suggest that you not waste your time, stick to ivy league schools. They're very prestigious.
