<p>Thanks! Anyone else willing to contribute?</p>

<p>Just make sure you apply to a safety
You’re a great applicant, but when it comes to reaches, things are crazy.</p>

11

<p>^Yes of course, Hendrix was my planned safety, as they accept 83% of all applicants. Also, I though U of T could be perhaps a Low Match.</p>

12

<p>If you happen to be from Texas (though it seems you’re not), UT would a sure thing because of their automatic admission policy. But if you’re applying out of state, it could be as hard as Rice/Duke. Pomona is one of the top liberal arts colleges and its acceptance rate is lower than Rice/Duke but it’s not as high of a reach as the Ivies/Stanford/MIT/CalTech, making it about on par with Vanderbilt. You have a lot to consider with all these schools, but your resume is amazing. Good luck!</p>
