[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep reading about college fit but having hard time trying to figure our a fit. Almost every college seems good with the below criteria:

- [b]No preference for big or small college
- No preference for either a city or college town[/b]
- No big preference for sports, but would like the school to have a baseball team
- Pay is not an issue but would not want to waste it either
- Would focus on STEM with a focus on Math but not sure if it would be sciences, engineering or CS
- Very interested in a research opportunity at undergrad level
- Exceptionally strong in math
- Dorm with AC would be strongly preferred

Perfect GPA and SAT/ACT scores, but asian male. No extracurriculars except math, math and more math activities.

Not looking at prestiage at all. Just trying to find schools where he has a good chance of getting in and also enable him to pursue math and go into sciences/engineering/CS as they seem to be most likely paths he would be interested in.

Could the more experienced posters please provide any advice and pointers to get started on the college list?[/quote]

Is the reason why no preference in these because he is super introverted? I ask because most kids have a strong preference if they have visited a few college campuses. If he really doesn’t mind the environment either way, then just pick strong stem schools. Ones that have the broadest majors and minors that are easy to navigate switch majors explore minors etc. Everything from Rice to Tufts to Purdue for a start. [/quote]
