<p>Supamik: you should get a good college guide and start reading about colleges and get a sense of what is appealing. One excellent source, principally detailed essays, is The Fiske Guide to Colleges. Another popular, though slightly snarky, source is The Yale Insider’s Guide to Colleges. You might consider curbing your tendency to snark at every poster who doesn’t tell you what you want to hear. You are asking for information that you really should be gathering at this stage yourself. As has been pointed out, it is hard to know what constitutes either a safety school or a match when you have revealed so little of your resume.</p>
<p>I assume you are going to write me back a snarky post! But do I at least get points for giving you the college guide titles?</p>
