<p>I'm a rising senior, confused about which colleges would be right for me. I've always been told I am amazingly smart, but my numbers don't really reflect that but ive got good ECs (I think). I'm unsure of whether I should be pursuing state universities, state system universities, or liberal arts colleges. My top schools are Oberlin, Lawrence, Macalester, Swarthmore, UW-madison, UW- La Crosse, and maybe reaches/ no chance at all, UPenn, UChicago. Any advice/feedback would be helpful.</p>
