<p>So I'm a junior and I put together a laundry list of colleges to consider ranked according to how likely I'd get in and how much I'd want to go there. If you could chance me for them it would help me narrow down my list somewhat.</p>
<p>Colleges I may apply to:
MIT (EA)
Columbia (Fu Foundation)
Princeton
Harvey Mudd
Stanford
Caltech
Cornell
Dartmouth
U Penn
Harvard
Yale
Carnegie Mellon
Vanderbilt
Georgia Tech
Northwestern U
WPI
RPI
SUNY Binghamton</p>

Low Family Income - Divorced Parents
~$50,000 savings</p>

AP World History - 5</p>
<p>Activities:
