<p>The main reason I'm doing this thread is because my GPA for junior year ended up a bit better than I expected and my SAT scores were much higher than I'd predicted so my target schools suddenly became safeties haha. So I'm not quite sure where I'm at. I plan on going into English and language related things if that helps. </p>
<p>And it would be great if you had suggestions as to where else I might consider, my list is pretty sparse..</p>

-Boston College
-Georgetown
-Villanova
-Notre Dame
-UPenn
-Cornell
-Duke
(Safety schools not listed. I know the ivies are a crapshoot but is it worth a shot for me? I'd never really considered them before. Though I'd be pretty happy with Boston to be honest.)</p>
