<p>This is just a preliminary list of colleges I might apply to. I'm also probably applying to Rutgers, TCNJ, & Lehigh, but assuming that I'll get in and they'll just be safeties for me. Although I'm not expecting to get into Harvard, I'm probably going to apply so I might as well mention that my grandfather earned his PhD from Harvard, so I have a legacy there. He later was a professor at Rutgers (even though I don't need a legacy to get in there)</p>
