<p>Very few EC's
I was in deca two years
played football one year</p>

<p>(my school has a lot of ap classes for it's size)</p>

<p>Schools interested in-
Beloit College
Reed college</p>

<p>Do I have a shot at any of the north east LA schools? (Wesleyan, Colgate, Williams, Amherst)</p>

<p>Do I have any shot at the ivys? (don't plan on attending, but just wondering if I have a shot)</p>

<p>I forgot to mention that I have ADHD (a learning Disability)</p>

<p>I think you'll get into Beloit and Reed, and you'd have a very good shot at the NE LAC's except that Williams and Amherst are probably reaches. Middlebury is probably a reach too, but Colgate, Colby, Bates, Bowdoin, Wesleyan, and Hamilton are all in the match range for you.</p>

4

<p>I would have to disagree that the Northeastern "Little Ivies" are reaches-- they're not guaranteed at all, but easily in the realm of possibility.</p>

5

<p>You could apply to all of them. I agree with adummb05 about the reaches, matches, and safeties. It is always good to have a few reaches, and I think that the list is balanced.</p>

<p>Do you have any other ECs?</p>

6

<p>Having visited both, and being an alum at one (Williams), I doubt there are many students at Reed who would be happy at Williams (and vice versa). So be sure....</p>

7

<p>out of curiousity, mini, what do you mean?</p>

<p>i really enjoyed my visit to williams, but i haven't visited reed, although i'm interested.</p>

8

<p>I think that Williams students are seen as preppy and athletic, and Reedies are considered artsy, weird, and very liberal.</p>

<p>Students at both schools are very, very bright, and tend to come from families in the top 5% of the U.S. population economically speaking, but there the similarity ends. 40% of Williams students are involved in intercollegiate athletics (and 10% more in club sports), with big-time Div III basketball and football. The biggest sport at Reed is ultimate frisbee; there is a basketball team that gets blown out by Bethel Bible College every year. Let's just say the body types vary significantly. There are serious students at both schools, but at Reed, you just can't help miss that students get their identities from being serious about being serious students. (Did I get that right?) There is tons more music and art at Williams than there is a Reed (the music department is a rundown little house with out-of-tune pianos and a 3 faculty members). The "substances of choice" vary quite widely from school to school. Reed is in a suburban neighborhood of Portland; Williams is in - well, they wouldn't have called it Williamstown if there was anything else there.</p>
