<p>I think everyone should start posting a quick rundown of their stats along with their college list. (GPA, SATs, list of ECs, APs). The parents have one like that for their kids. It'd make it more interesting.</p>
<p>Brown ED
Northwestern
UChicago
Swarthmore
Middlebury
Vassar
Reed
Syracuse</p>
<p>GPA: 3.78 (uw) 3.89 (w)...most difficult schedule (by graduation, I will have taken 9 APs and 8 honors classes)
SAT: 2090 (740m, 680cr, 670w).
ECs: really good...founded a club, president of 3, vice president of 2 (including senior class), secretary of 1, on the board of 3, and a member of a few more; went on a peace core-esque trip to volunteer in a school in china, went to india (w/ my school) to learn about Tibet; raised over $50,000 for a charity that helps countries with corrupt governments.</p>
<p>Reaches:
Georgetown (EA)
U Penn
Columbia
Brown
Johns Hopkins
UVA (oos) (jefferson scholarship)
Stanford
UNC-Chapel Hill (EA)</p>
<p>Matches:
Tufts</p>
<p>Safeties:
George Washington
UGA (EA)</p>
<p>If I get into Georgetown EA, than just Columbia, U Penn, and Stanford
If I get into UNC EA, than I'll take off GWU, UGA, and Johns Hopkins (and Wash U/U Chicago).</p>
<p>Also looking at Wash U and U Chicago. Ultimately, I'd like to end up with eight schools.</p>
<p>U Michigan
U Wisconsin</p>
<p>UVA
Cornell U
U Rochester
Georgetown
V Tech
VCU</p>
<p>Stanford
Cornell
WUSTL

CU Boulder/Colostate</p>
<p>Maybe:</p>
<p>UVA
Emory
Carnegie Mellon
U Washington</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0

Suffice it to say essays/ECs/recs are good.</p>

Middlebury</p>
<p>...Or something of the sort.</p>
<p>1950/3.7UW good ECs/recs/etc</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that my list is finalized:</p>
<p>Beloit

Lawrence
Rhodes

<p>All EA except for Rhodes, Smith, and Hollins</p>
<p>Rice (ID)

<p>theothermuse,
Are you interested in writing...looks like you are from your list...I am too.</p>
<p>Williams ED...</p>
<p>So, the list keeps changing... but...</p>
<p>Harvard
Stanford
(SCEA at one of the above)
Columbia
UPenn (or Yale?)
Univ. of South. Cal.
Clemson</p>
<p>USC might change or go away... I'm still thinking about Macalester and a few others...</p>
<p>Vanderbilt EDI
Washington & Lee or Trinity or Tufts EDII (Can't decide quite yet)
Northeastern (Saftey and EA)
Case Western (EA)
Tulane (EA)
Boston U
Rhodes
John Hopkins</p>
<p>10 schools... this list could still change some, but I think this is somewhat solid. A decent mix of matches, reaches, and safeties.</p>
<p>Brown (ED)
Williams
Swarthmore
Duke
William and Mary
Princeton
UPenn
Emory
UF</p>
<p>I probably should have more than one safety, but I have my reasons</p>
<p>I'm also conflicted on whether to do early decision. I love Brown but what if at some point I change my mind. I wish I knew if ED would actually help me get in!! I know that shouldn't really be the factor that binds you to a school, but it matters.</p>
