<p>Applying to:
UC's (cal, LA, SD, irvine, santa barbara, davis)
Harvey Mudd
UIUC
Michigan (ann arbor)
Northwestern
Cornell
Rice
Carnegie Mellon

<p>are there any schools up there that i shouldn't even waste my money applying too, and are there any schools that i should consider that i don't have up there (i guess ones that weight SAT's more and consider SAT II's, e.g. UIUC and michigan i heard don't even consider II's)</p>
<p>thx</p>
