Class of 2009, Where are you applying BESIDES IVIES

<p>Looking at the "Class of 2009 Where are you applying" thread I feel like an outcast since it seems like EVERYONE is applying to ivies, even some ALL ivies. All I need to say is have fun getting your rejection letters.</p>

<p>Here's my list:</p>

<p>Pomona
Davidson
Dickinson
Lehigh
Ursinus
Lewis&Clark
UMW
Occidental</p>

<p>I know there are very few of us but I know I'm not the only one...</p>

<p>I agree, the people here are crazy. I am not definitly sure but I plan on applying to: Bates, Colby, Holy Cross, Boston College, and Connecticut College.</p>

<p>George Washington, Boston University, University of Central Florida, UNC-Chapel Hill, Bentley, Babson</p>

<p>What a great list of schools, rrrrrice! I've heard Pomona referred to as a West Coast "Ivy," and its acceptance rate is certainly heading into that territory. (I believe it was something around 18% in 2007.) ... Barak Obama started off at Occidental before transferring to Columbia because of his major. Occidental and Davidson give outstanding merit scholarships. I know the other schools on your list are outstanding as well. (Also look at Carleton, Reed, Oberlin, Vassar, and Grinnell.) Good luck next year!</p>

<p>Virginia, Michigan, Maryland</p>

<p>w00t for Davidson!! </p>

<p>Davidson
Vandy
Georgetown
Duke
maybe Rice, UVA, or UNC</p>

<p>plus......a few of those Ivies hehe. HPC!</p>

<p>Err...I'm applying to three Ivies. Besides that, my list is:
Georgetown
Tufts
Boston College
George Washington
Fordham
Syracuse
Pitt</p>

<p>I think you'll get a lot of people here--they're all applying to Stanford :)</p>

<p>Stanford
Rice
Duke
Chicago
Pomona
WashU
URochester
USD
UCSD</p>

<p>Gross....Stanford <em>shudder</em></p>

<p>Stuck-up Californians and ugly orange architecture (no offense lol)</p>

<p>I'm glad this thread is already getting some support :) And thanks Hindoo! Pomona's acceptance rate was actually 16% this year. It's like a "yeah, riiight" school for me, but one can only hope!</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins</p>

<p>hmm...and maybe MIT but I'm not sure yet.</p>

<p>My daughter was accepted for 2007-08, but ended up at Carleton. I think her "hook" for Pomona was, in addition to great test scores, grades, etc., she was from Kentucky--and Pomona is underrepresented by students from the southeast. A few years ago, my niece from California was waitlisted at Pomona. She was valedictorian of her class, Girl's State, NMF, you name it. They told her it was unbelievably competitive for a California student to get in. So, wherever you live rrrrrice, you might look at schools in other parts of the country, where your presence on campus would help with their diversity!</p>

Wash U
Johns Hopkins
Tufts
