Help with school ideas?

Girl
Top DC private--probably ending up with 3.85/1540
Extracurriculars: varsity sport, restaurant job, math team, STEM research internship
Math or physics major, not interested in CS or coding or engineering-think she probably wants to end up in finance or maybe medicine.
Wants a "fun" school-good school spirit.
She's a social kid -loves social media, popular culture, fashion, etc
Wants either a good college town or urban environment
Size of school doesn't matter
very hard worker but is tired of the grind that high school has been. It's one of those 4 hours of homework a night high schools.
Wants the time to actually have interests outside of academics in college.

University of Florida. Go Gators!

Possibly Cornell. Depending on what naviance shows for her school, consider whether she would be interested in one of the ag school majors. They have Biometry and Statistics, Applied Economics, Biology & Society.

Why would anyone ever suggest Cornell for this kid?

Emory. Atlanta rocks. Fun party school with I retesting smart kids.

I thought it was fun. There was good school spirit around hockey and lax. Obviously, it isn’t a SEC/Big 10 football school, but it is hard to tell from the op if that is what this kid actually wants.

Emory is not a party school and has no D1 sports, no football team at all.

Hmm.
Maybe — reach Duke and Berkeley;
target UF, Wake; Emory; WashU
Safety ASU

Whoops just typed Emory when I meant Clemson. Had Emory in my head from PP.

Berkeley, UCLA and Michigan all have among the top math and physics departments in the country. Michigan might be a really great fit. I’m not sure how hard it is to get into Berkeley and ucla out of state.

Michigan and Wisconsin would be the top two on my list for those considerations. But the list 03:36 provided is solid as well.

Neither Berkeley nor WashU are "school spirit" type schools.

There are some weird suggestions here...

Michigan, Wisconsin, UT Austin, UNC seem like good fits
