112

<p>Bananafish9: I'd like to mention that SUNY Binghamton is no longer a safety, especially for the HS class of '09. A kid I knew in '08 was 7th in class, did 3 sports (captain of all the teams), 2000+ on his SATs, had a bunch of ECs, and got deferred from there EA. He ultimately got in, but getting deferred with those stats = no longer a safety. Match... I'll give you that.</p>

<p>I'm applying to:
Harvard
Columbia
Williams
Bard
SUNY Binghamton (IS)
Wesleyan
Skidmore
Vassar
Syracuse (maybe... I have to visit the campus)
and probably Oberlin, Franklin & Marshall, UC-Berkley (toying with it. I'm OOS) and Hobart and William Smith.</p>

<p>Half of these schools I have familial connection to. Hopefully it works in my favor.</p>
