<p>You need to write really solid essays for Reed and Chicago. I think you should add Swarthmore and Carleton to the mix (although perhaps not Swarthmore because it’s not very forgiving when it comes to grades - yours are fine, but you know, it’s Swarthmore. Carleton is likely because of its higher acceptance rate.) If you’re into the non-traditional type, then Bard and Sarah Lawrence would make good options too. Both schools are know for their rigorous standards and quirks.</p>
<p>Thanks, Catria!
And International, thanks for the recommendations!
Billcsho, I want to be an English major along with graphic design/something art. (It’s what I’m putting but I don’t know for sure, to be honest).
I’m from Illinois.
Also, I know I am going to get a killer rec from one teacher I asked.</p>
