Question:

--I'm a sophomore, i'm looking around at different colleges online. I'm interested in psychology and law primarily, but am also a little interested in medicine, journalism, and sociology. Even baseball a little :)

I get straight A's, am in almost all honors classes (plan to take one AP next year), and got an 1830 on the PSAT this year. My weighted GPA sits at about 4.25, unweighted GPA 4.00. I'm in a few clubs (choir, literary magazine).

I go to a fairly above average public school. Kids usually need a 4.6 weighted to get into an Ivy league in my school, so I do fall short for that.

Does anyone have a couple ideas for colleges that might be right for me? I don't want anything too challenging- I'll work hard, but I still want a life. I'm nowhere near ready to pick, but if someone could give me a little direction I'd appreciate it :)

1. Do you want to live in-state or out-of-state?
2. What is the price range for college for you?
3. Do you want to attend a big, medium, or small school?
4. Do you want to attend a public or private college/university?
5. How close do you want to be to home?
6. Do you want to live in the dorms or commute?
