Class of 09, Where Will You Apply?

Applying to College
1

<p>After doing some research on colleges, I have come up with a "rough draft" of my college list. Over the next couple months I made add or take some colleges off my list, but this is basically it.</p>

<p>EA:
University of Chicago
University of San Diego (my safety, mom is an alumni as well)</p>

<p>RD:
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Stanford
Penn
Duke (my dad and uncle are alumnis)
WashU
Pomona
University of Rochester
UC San Diego
University of Washington - Seattle</p>

<p>2 safeties, 2 matches, rest reaches.</p>

<p>So where will you guys be applying?</p>

2

<p>NYU
Wellesley
UCLA - School of Art
and the Rest are art/design schools</p>

3

<p>Reach: Stanford</p>

<p>Match: NYU</p>

<p>Safety: BYU</p>

4

<p>3 schools? Wow. Refreshingly different.</p>

5

<p>Wesleyan ED (most likely, since I’m madly in love with this school!)</p>

<p>RD if Wes doesn’t work out:
Vassar
Haverford
Tufts
Brandeis
Boston U
Muhlenberg
Skidmore
Drew</p>

<p>Since Wesleyan and Vassar are my top choices, I’m going to look at Vassar again this fall, and if I don’t get into Wesleyan EDI, I may apply to Vassar EDII. But, for the most part, this is my plan.</p>

6

<p>Brown, definitely.
don’t know about others yet though!</p>

7

<p>LostSymphonies…do you live in Utah?</p>

<p>(Sorry, completely random and off-topic…just curious)</p>

8

<p>ED: Northwestern or Cornell (can not decide!)</p>

<p>RD:

  • Brown
  • BC
  • Georgetown
  • Lafayette
  • Lehigh
  • Holy Cross (legacy)
  • Rutgers
  • Tufts
  • U Chicago
  • U Mich</p>

<p>A lot of reaches (hoping for some luck), a couple matches, a couple safeties</p>

9

<p>Well, TODAY the list goes as follows </p>

<p>Either UChicago EA or Columbia ED</p>

<p>Notre Dame University
Johns Hopkins University
University of Texas (in-state safety)
Swarthmore
Reed College
Rhodes College
Gordon College
Kenyon College
Knox College</p>

<p>Considering: Yale (which will be a lemming app–I’ll throw myself onto the pyre of Yale’s acceptance rate), Brown (don’t know about the open curriculum), Vassar (haven’t studied the school enough), Wheaton (Il) or Hillsdale, depending on how interested I am in a Christian school.</p>

<p>A little reach heavy, but a good amount of matches, and just 1-2 safeties.</p>

<p>…but that’ll probably change by tomorrow.</p>

10

<p>I guess I’m kind of out of place, not listing any ivys or anything but..</p>

<p>University of Wisconsin-Madison
University of Minnesota-Twin cities
University of Minnesota-Duluth
University of Iowa
Iowa State U
University of North Dakota
Bemidji State University</p>

<p>[Matches]
UNC-Chapel Hill (Instate)
Wake Forest
Davidson
Tulane</p>

<p>[Reaches]
Duke
Amherst
Middlebury
Swarthmore
Vassar</p>

<p>No safeties, because UNC is really my match and my safety. It is an excellent school and I am practically guaranteed admission with my instate stats and whatnot. Don’t expect to get into any of my reaches. (Although I am going QuestBridge with some LACs. Might get into through that)</p>
