Am I applying for too many Merit Scholarships?

<p>Thanks mathmomvt!</p>

<p>“So… what would your ideal school look like? Maybe someone here can help you find a financial safety school that would be close enough to your “dream” to make it a great place to spend 4 years. What do you like to do for fun? How far from home do you want (or are you willing) to travel?”</p>

<p>Location: really anywhere, preferably California or the South (warm climates).
I want some good sports teams too, actually to give you an idea the schools on my list are like Stanford, Cornell, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, USC, and UMich. There are fraternities/sororities, good sports teams, big schools, inturmurals/club sports are nice at these places too.</p>
