Advice Anyone? I need some safeties and such...

<h2>Was wondering if anyone would care to chance me on the following list of schools, and perhaps suggest some other options. I am trying to create a list of places to visit this summer....</h2>

<p>My stats...</p>

<p>GPA - 98.7 Weighted, not sure unweighted, though all grades are As/A-'s

<p>Female/Caucasian/Middle Class
Attend private all-girls in NY
Ranked in top 1-5%, won’t know until Sept ’07</p>

<p>Classes:
**Entered HS w/ credits based on accelerated middle school program. This would, under normal circumstances, be beneficial—however—due to the strict scheduling and general small size of my school, I was occasionally forced to take non-honors courses, though they were with the grade subsequent to my own. I have taken/registered for all A.P classes offered by school (other than Spanish, due to Latin track) and highest level of language.</p>

<p>9th: Honors English II, Honors Global I, Geometry Honors, Latin I, Biology, Communications, Freshman Computing, Religion I, Phys.EdI</p>

<p>10th: Honors English II, Honors Global II, Algebra II, Latin II, Chemistry Honors, Art Portfolio, Religion II, Phys.EdII</p>

<p>11th: Honors English III, AP U.S.History, Pre-Calculus, Latin III, Physics, Web Design, Religion III, Phys.EdIII</p>

<p>12th (will take): A.P Literature, Govt/Econ, A.P Calculus, A.P Biology, Web Design II, Religion IV, Phys.EdIV</p>

<p>Co-Curricular:

<p>Honors List since 9th grade, received Congressional Women in History Award, Gold Medals in a variety of subjects for highest average (including subjects taken in advanced grade level), won/participated in various essay contests, Kodak Leadership Award, among others that I don’t think are pertinent to a chances thread =]</p>

<h2>Possible National Merit Scholarship semi finalist - will know for sure in Fall of 2007</h2>

<h2>Major: Some combination of Political Science/Statistics or Quantitative Reasoning—maybe major/minor, or double major</h2>

<p>Current College List:
Wesleyan
Barnard
Swarthmore
Vassar
Lehigh
Lafayette
NYU
Fordham
CUNY Honors College @ Hunter </p>

<p>I probably want to remain in the Northeast/Middle States...school of 2000-6000 students, liberal arts or otherwise broad-based curriculum, without too many academic requirements and restrictions (I know that some of the schools above are larger...but I like NYU and Hunter for other reasons, so I could probably contend with the size). No religious preferences, probably not too much of a religious-based school, however.</p>

<p>Your list looks quite reasonable. Swarthmore is a big reach. Wesleyan is probably a reach, but they sometimes are looking for certain types of people. Barnard sounds like a match. The rest of your list sounds matchlike. Your record is really good. Your test scores are very solid, not spectacular, but very consistent. I don't think that you will have a problem. Would you want to throw in Stony Brook or Binghamton as financial safeties?</p>

<p>would be a reach for William & Mary but the school matches what you are looking for. At 2/3 the cost of some of your other schools.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice...I will look into William and Mary!</p>
