<p>jimbob1225,</p>
<p>Are you a female? I assumed you were a guy all this time, based on your name "jimbob". At any rate, Wellesley a fine school - one that my daughter looked at seriously - but it only accepts admissions applications from women. (They do have joint classes with students from the nearby schools, e.g., MIT, Brandeis, Babson and Olin)</p>
<p>U of Michigan (rolling)
CU Boulder (rolling)
Columbia ED</p>
<p>If I don't get into Columbia...</p>
<p>WashU
Emory U
Cornell U (Arts and Sciences)
UNC Chapel Hill (OOS)
UCLA
UC San Diego
NYU
George Washington U
USC</p>
<p>And if I don't get into Michigan rolling too...</p>
<p>UC Santa Barbara
UC Irvine
Syracuse University</p>
<p>I might also throw in Boston U, but I think I have way too many colleges already.</p>
<p>W&L
U Richmond
Bucknell
Colgate
Muhlenberg
Hamilton
Dickinson
Trinity (CT)
Loyola MD or Villanova
Lehigh or Lafayette
maybe Johns Hopkins, Cornell, or some other reach i'm not sure yet</p>

<p>Jimbob, </p>
<p>OK... just checking... I knew you were too smart to try to sneak a fast one on us! ;) (Couldn't you have come up with a moniker just a bit more apt?)</p>
<p>My daughter has a friend (male) who was accepted at Vassar, and I was surprised to find out how many men now attend... the recent classes have been close to 50/50 male/female. The changes occur quickly.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
