630/630/620</p>
<p>Where are u thinking of applying?</p>
<p>Do you want a big school, small schools?</p>
<p>Do you definately want to do sports in college?</p>
<p>along with northwestern im thinking of applying to
claremont
pomona
grinnell
u of c
and u of i as my safety,
i grew up basically at northwestern going to tons of cat's games going to work with my dad etc. other than northwestern im not that big of a fan of big schools because they offer less attention and i dont plan on doing a sport in college other than maybe club.</p>
<p>if you're seriously indian (real indian) you can go ahead and kick those chances up a notch...if you're only 1/8 or 1/16 indian like me...you're just normal and your chances are decent.</p>
<p>The Claremont schools are getting very competative. And with 2 out of the 6 you are applying to, you should definatly pick a few more schools.</p>
<p>haha by indian i meant from indian like asian indian, not native american if that was what you were reffering to of course that would have really boosted my chances
but thanks for the input
and yea i dont know what other schools really fit me, im thinking of doing economics or internation affairs but want to go to a place that is intellectual but i actually have a chance to get into
maybe tufts? any other choices would be helpful</p>
<p>you best bet is to go to US news and world report and click on all of them, and look at the blurb. Seriously that's how i picked my school. Iw ould add Macalester College to your list though, it was put as one of the top 10 most intellectual schools in the country on some list. Plus it was named "hottest liberal arts school in the country" last year. Its also very polltical, very diverse, very interanational oriented. </p>
<p>i had to plug my school.</p>
