<p>Preferably in safe/match/reach style...</p>

<p>THANKS</p>

<p>Skidmore, Bard, Hampshire, and Vassar will easily be safety schools, I think. Williams will be a reach school. And...I don't know about the rest, sorry, lol. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>Vassar is NOT a safety, but a high match. Hampshire, Skidmore, and Bard are Matches.</p>

<p>Brandeis is a high match, Williams Bowdoin and Wesleyan are reaches. Better chance at Bowdoin if you didn't send SAT scores.</p>

<p>bumpppp................</p>

<p>Anymore replies??</p>

<p>Students at our school have found Vassar hard to get into, though as a male, you've got an advantage. Hampshire, Skidmore, and Bard are safetyish in the sense that I'd expect you to be admitted. Probably Wheaton and Suffolk too, though I don't know them. I think you'll be accepted at a couple of your reaches, as well. Good luck!</p>

<p>Williams - Reasonable Reach
Bowdoin - Slight Reach
Wesleyan - Slight Reach
Vassar - Slight Reach
Skidmore - Safety
Brandeis - Match
Bard - Safe Match
Wheaton - Safety
Suffolk - Safety
Hampshire - Safety</p>

<p>Williams has an admission iniative for local students (I live like 10 minutes away).</p>

<p>Does anyone know the extent to which the local pool would help my application?</p>

<p>just a few more responses...? :-)</p>
