<p>Most of you have probably not even heard of my first choice. It would actually suprise me if you had heard of it...</p>
<p>"so my question is: even after researching and making a short list, it's still okay to have one or two "love-at-first-sight" colleges on the list, right?"</p>
<p>Of course! I know it's trite but... No matter which you pick, prestigious or not, make sure you'd be more than happy spending some of the most important 4/5 years of your life there.</p>
<p>Silentscholaris: Yes! Someone who has Knox College AND and Ivy on their list (like me!)</p>
<p>OK, this is just tentative:</p>
<p>University of Chicago (my ABSOLUTE favorite!!!!!!!!!)
Knox College (my mom's absolute favorite--and alma mater)
Lawrence University
Beloit College
Notre Dame
Loyola University of Chicago (super safety--but I have a really good friend/music faculty member that is starting there next year)
Grinnell? maybe
Illinois Wesleyan? maybe
and then an Ivy--my dad wants me to just try for it: haven't decided which one yet...hmmm....I go back and forth from Yale to Harvard and back again....not that I am positive I would actually go to either...but you never know....</p>
<p>I'm not sure what other schools I will add to my list: maybe some more LACs that are in the middle of nowhere that nobody has ever heard of (they're my mom's favorites)</p>
<p>1.Emory
2.Vanderbilt
3.Brandeis
4.Hampshire
5.Reed
6.Yeshiva University
7.Binghamton
8.New College of Florida
Im sure many more to come.</p>

Stanford
Rice
UMich-ann harbor
Claremont Mckenna

<p>Way to go beyond your comfort zone, champ...</p>
<ol>
<li>Knox College</li>
<li>Hampshire College</li>
<li>Lawrence University</li>
<li>Beloit College</li>
<li>DePaul University</li>
<li>Goucher College</li>
<li>Bennington College</li>
</ol>
<p>and then my parents are forcing me to apply to..</p>
<p>Bradley University, Webster University (I need an in-state...college counselor requires it), and Illinois Wesleyan University.</p>
<p>I actually seriously considered applying to Eugene Lang at one point, but I'm not exactly enthused about their Educational Studies program..</p>
<p>Wouldn't it make more sense to do a double major in English Literature and Secondary Education with a concentration on Language Arts Education?</p>
<p>I dunno. That's what I'm planning on doing, at least.</p>
<p>bump! i just thought it needed a bump.. i liked this thread... :)</p>
<p>I'm applying as a transfer and here's my (probibly close to) final list</p>
<p>Brown
Columbia
WashU
NYU
Reed
BU
Pitt</p>
<p>oh, I am going for Math/Econ</p>
