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>
