<p>UMiami would be a safety. </p>
<p>edit: oh someone already said that. whoops.</p>
<p>thanks aster, any ideas for other safeties?</p>
<p>Leadership can mean many things, not neccesarily starting a club. It could be doing research, it could be being an officer/captain, or it could just be doing something unusual.</p>
<p>Syracuse? Yeah you're safe there. The reason why I put Vandy and Davidson as reaches is because at these schools, they begin to expect something besides good numbers. I think you have great potential to get in, you just need to stand out a bit more in their crowd of applicants.</p>
<p>yeah, true. I have alot of credentials with piano, some awards/accomplishments, but yeah, nothing crazy. I guess im a well rounded person who hasn't really foundn complete passion...shame on me.</p>
<p>My advice, try to get recruited for track if you can. I'm not sure what times you need for those schools tho.</p>
<p>My times are good to go at U of South and Davidson. Assuming my times are competitive, is it likely that alot of other applicants will have similar times as I do and get recruited? how competitive is recruiting at DIII</p>
<p>Uhhhhhh, I'm really not the person to ask. I do think you are in the running for getting recruited. </p>
<p>Davidson is a terrific school, I highly reccomend it. U of the South has a beautiful campus too. Good luck with those colleges, you have a nice list and are bound to get into quite a few.</p>
<p>Thank you very much Fish. Anyone know much about DIII track></p>
<p>Im in track and yes it'll help but not much unless u letter or accomplish sumthing like win a meet</p>
<p>Wut is DIII?</p>
<p>well ill be lettering 11th and 12th...DIII is division III sports</p>
<p>oh one more, out of curiousity (i actually really loathe this school): U of Texas at Austin (out of state)</p>
<p>You loath it? Then why are you asking?</p>
<p>If you play piano well, than PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to Sewanee!</p>
<p>so i can sabotage it if i get accepted. what are my chances there. Fiddle do you go there? I play pretty well, i dunno, i've played for many years...hey if u go there, what were ur stats when u got accepted?</p>
<p>hey i think you have a great chance at emory and vandy. Your ecs will hurt a little bit because they like to see leadership ect. ECs can be so important that they may even make up for a gpa that is pretty low.</p>
<p>hey Mystic how low is low?</p>
<p>i dont think emory is in a bad neighborhood...
elcommando, have u actually been there because i completely disagree</p>
<p>yes they have security, but you can definitely go off campus without "getting shot"
its 6-7 miles from downtown atlanta
its an amazing school and the campus is phenomenal (and safe, but not "like a bubble,") so i highly recommend anyone considering the school actually visit it before discounting it</p>
<p>*no offense is meant by this post, im just having trouble 'disagreeing agreeably'</p>
<p>Everything is good and track is a good sport, just work on those test scores dude.</p>
<p>lolok- What are your events and times? The DIII schools really vary in what they are looking for. Some, like Haverford, are track powerhouses.</p>
<p>Emory looks like it would be a match/reach for you, in other words, i think you have a decent shot.</p>
<p>My son is at Emory and loves it. It is in a beautiful, leafy suburb of Atlanta called Druid
Hills, a few miles from Buckhead, Midtown, Downtown, Virginia Highlands, etc.--a good location.</p>
<p>Emory's sports scene is very strong as far as how the teams perform both on the field and academically--I don't know too much about track specifically . The coaches could probably advise you as to how you would fit in to their program.</p>
<p>If you have any specific questions. I'll try to answer them for you.</p>
