<p>thinker: I meant if I did apply to Colby/Grinnell, would I have a better shot at those than the others, not as safeties at all. And I think the thing at Upenn is like wharton, you choose which schools you want to go to by preference. I took away Colby/Grinnell because I was only applying to those because they were free, they don’t meet all of my needs. I took away Bowdoin for the 2nd reason as well. And I took away Harvard because it doesn’t have a LAC-environment/curriculum.</p>

Choosing colleges based on your needs and not by name. Very nice. CC needs more people like you.</p>
