<p>So now that we've seen the class of 2008 have all the fun, it's our turn!</p>
<p>Since 2008 can now relax, according to the 2009th law of thermodynamics, we have to take up the stress. :D</p>
<p>I guess the first step is: where are you applying?
(If you know, put ED/EA/SCEA etc. in parentheses)</p>
<p>Oops forgot to put myself down. Um, these are tentative so I'm probably gonna get rid of a few - I wanna get it down to about 8, 9 max</p>

<p>wow cc class of 2009, u guys are crazy, & good luck!</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins (ED) (Only school i care about and is considered good match for me)
Caltech (EA)
MIT (EA)</p>
<p>and dont care about RD, my back up is MBBS (Medical Bachelors with Bachelors in Surgery 5 year program in india) oo and i got safeties as USC,UCLA, UC-B (yah its possible, i already checked with 5 relatives that go there lmao)....</p>
<p>Well, my first choice is pretty much Pomona, but my mom wants me to stay within the Midwest (I live in a suburb of Chicago). So we'll see how that goes. (I'm also interested in Haverford and Swarthmore, if she'll let me apply.)</p>
<p>Reaches: Pomona, Swarthmore, Haverford, UChicago (maybe. I'm not quite sure if I'd really fit.)</p>
<p>Better chance: Earlham, Grinnell (though it's getting tougher!), Carleton, Macalester, Kenyon, Oberlin (again, I'm not sure I'll fit, but for completely different reasons)</p>
<p>As for "safeties," I'm looking at Knox, Kalamazoo, and Augustana (IL). I'll probably pick two.</p>
<p>My D's list till now</p>
<p>Reaches:</p>
<p>Princeton (Top choice)
MIT (EA)
Stanford</p>
<p>Matches:
UCB
CMU
Northwestern
Rice</p>
<p>UCLA
USC
UCSD</p>
<p>To include more UC's if adviced.</p>
<p>High reaches: Brown, Princeton, Stanford</p>
<p>Reaches: Georgetown SFS (EA), UChicago (EA), and Middlebury</p>
<p>Matches: Colby, Wellesley (EE)</p>
<p>Safeties: UC Davis (and Merced; ELC people always get into both of them), American, Lewis and Clark (EA; this might be a low match)</p>
<p>I havn't quite sorted out my reaches from my marches yet, and I am nowhere near being certain of my list, but here ix what I have so far:</p>
<p>Swarthmore (toying with applying ED at the moment, but I'm so indecisive that that would probably be a bad idea, and I'll probably flip to being more interested in another in a few hours)
Bowdoin
Amherst
Wellesley (EE)
Middlebury
Barnard (?)
Williams
Pomona
Also considering: Carlton, Macalester, Oberlin, Scripps, UC Berkley</p>
<p>Safeties:
Whitman
Pitzer
UC Davis</p>
