<p>classof09:</p>
<p>from your other posts you look very competitive, but it's a stretch for anyone to consider caltech a match. and don't you think you need a better safety than michigan? it may be big and rolling, but admission is scarcely over 30%. what state do you live in? you might want your own flagship as a safer safety (& probably rolling so that you can do a SCEA or ED if you want).</p>
<p>very tentative list:</p>
<p>SCEA Stanford</p>
<p>Harvard
MIT
Macalester
UCLA
UCB
Barrett Honors College (ASU)
Robert E. Cook Honors College (IUP)</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon (maybe)
Rice
U Michigan
NYU
Georgia Tech
UC Davis
UT Austin
Boston University</p>
<p>However, I'm probably gonna narrow this down to 5 or 6.</p>
<p>ED:
Either Pomona or Vanderbilt... I am torn</p>
<p>Regular Decision:
Vassar
Brandeis
maybe Claremont McKenna
Northeastern
Boston U
and possibly Cambridge... but that's a long shot haha</p>
<p>ED:
UPenn</p>
<p>RD:
Brown

University of Washington</p>
<p>NYU Stern</p>
<p>Stanford EA
Harvard
UPenn Wharton
UCs </p>
<p>Definitely not getting into Stanford/Harvard/Penn, but just applying there so I can have them send me a rejection letter</p>
<p>LOL bay-area, what are you going to do with the rejection letters?</p>
<p>It'll be posted on my wall so I can say that these prestigious schools spent time on me, no matter how little time they actually spent.</p>
<p>EA:
McDaniel College (likely)</p>
<p>RD:
UVA (In state)
William and Mary (In state)
Richmond
Rochester

<p>I'm considering Yale or Penn-Wharton, but I'm not sure yet.</p>
<p>Reaches:
Harvard/NEC
Princeton
Columbia</p>
<p>Matches:
Cornell
Northwestern
Johns Hopkins/Peabody
Tufts/NEC
Oberlin
McGill</p>
<p>Safeties:
Michigan
Rochester/Eastman</p>
<p>I feel like a war vet looking at you guys. Just for the record, University of Rochester is by no means a safety school anymore.</p>
<p>High Reaches:
Columbia
Brown</p>
<p>Reaches:
Vassar
Oberlin
Amherst</p>
<p>Matches:
Bard
Barnard
Kenyon

<p>You're gonna spend a lot more time bay-area on sending those applications so don't bother unless you think you can get in.</p>
<p>Uber Reach-
Stanford</p>
<p>Match/Reach-
Carleton
Wisconsin-Madison
Tulane</p>
<p>Safety-
University of Minnesota</p>
<p>I'm trying to make my list a little bigger though</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha, most people have the opposite problem. Good luck!</p>
<p>This thread ftw lol</p>
<p>As for me:
Early round to U of Michigan. If i get in, i'll know by december and i'll just go there</p>
<p>If not, i'll presume that i suck at life and commit suicide.</p>
<p>..just kidding..kind of... i'll probably just give up and go to U of MN, since i'm pre-accepted there</p>
