<p>Some of those are probably big reaches for me, but oh well! Dream big I guess. At least I have some safeties.</p>
<p>UVa, Princeton, Georgetown, College of Charleston</p>
<p>Early Decision/REA</p>
<p>Either Johns Hopkins, American, Georgetown</p>
<p>Regular Decision</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins, American, Georgetown, NYU, and then probably 2 more match/safety schools.</p>
<p>our class is so ridiculously huge and competitive... everywhere i go for college tours and stuff lately, they're like ":O THIS GROUP IS HUGE................................"</p>
<p>yeah.</p>
<p>SCEA- Stanford</p>
<p>RD-
Duke

<p>RD:
UCLA (SAFETY)
USC (SAFETY)
UC-Berk
Mcgill (SAFETY)
Columbia
U of Chicago
Cornell
Stanford

<p>P.S. if all else fails, go for an MBBS in INDIA WOOT!! LMAO... and be a doctor at 27 years old working at a hospital how great lol :-) (ill be finishing high school at 17 so 10 years= enough for 5 year program in india speciality and residency and ill be finished in 10 years)</p>
<p>I read somewhere that the HS Class of '09 is the biggest in US history.</p>

<p>The exact quote is:
"As the biggest high-school graduating class in history -- the class of 2009 -- begins the college-search process..." in this <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120536795134132051.html?mod=hpp_us_inside_today%5B/url%5D">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120536795134132051.html?mod=hpp_us_inside_today</a> article.</p>

<p>I've always been unlucky....</p>
<p>question-- how exactly do you determine match and reach? is it by SAT scores only? (i saw a thread regarding this on CC long ago... but couldn't find it ;___;)</p>
<p>anyway, my list:_____
MIT
columbia
upenn
brown
cornell
stanford</p>
<p>... match?______
carnegie mellon
NYU
swarthmore</p>
<p>safety:________
rutgers (only if they bribe me with a hefty sum of money. i am so sick of new jersey.)</p>
<p>Swarthmore is a match for no one. Its 75% SAT this year will be over 2300, base acceptance rate is under 18 percent, and it's heavily committed to filling its class with black and Latino/a students. Not to mention, it practices the same "quirky" admissions as Chicago--fit's important enough that even with crazy stats, you can't necessarily count on an acceptance.</p>
<p>philoglossia is right
i cant believe you people are putting great and competitive schools like harvey mudd and swarthmore, u chicago, under "matches". unless you saved the world a few times, then i guess youre cool. confidence is good, but not overconfidence</p>
<p>my list
(as you can see, im not quite sure yet)
ED/EA
yale
nyu (stern)
uchicago
stanford
upenn (wharton)
amherst</p>
<p>Reach:
HYPS, typical reach schools.</p>
<p>Slight reach:
nyu
northwestern
rice
berkley</p>
<p>safety:
UT and A&M (auto accepted)</p>
<p>Rice
Brown
Dartmouth
Emory
Chicago
Carnegie Mellon
Vanderbilt
Stanford</p>
<p>Yale
UChicago
Wesleyan
Swarthmore

I'm way too picky.</p>
