<p>atm i want to ED to Columbia, but other schools im interested in (not necessarily applying to) are UMich, UCLA, Berkeley, Cornell, Penn, Stanford </p>

<p>atm i think my safeties would be Pitt PSU Drexel (correct me if im wrong)</p>

<p>i don't want to make a laundry list of ECs, so there will prolly be less on an app. ( only the ones im really dedicated to)</p>

<p>thanks a bunch for advice ! plz be honest; i know many of these schools i dont have a shot at thanks!</p>

<p>Ok, I would put only 2 of the safeties that you have. Preferably Pitt and Drexel. I think your best shot is UCLA, Cornell or UMich. The others are reaches. chance me! </p>
