<p>I feel like if I make a list and attach my hopes and dreams to a “set in stone” list of schools, I’m just setting myself up for disappointment. So I’m gonna try to be freestyle throughout the process.</p>
<p>-Wellesley
-Bryn Mawr
-Columbia
-Barnard
-Claremont Mckenna
-Pomona
-University of Michigan
-University of Chicago
-Cornell
-Georgetown
-Duke
-George Washington Univ. St. Louis</p>
<p>I know that I definitely need to find more safeties/matches- if anyone has any suggestions let me know! I’m generally looking for a private fairly competitive school in new england with between 2500 and 10000 kids. I’m interested in international business or economics/international relations if IB isn’t available. </p>
<p>In order from farthest reach—> safety
Yale (dream school-- HUGE reach)
UPenn (again, huge reach)
Northeastern
BU
Bentley
Bryant
Quinnipiac
UMass (not interested in going there but i’ll def get in maybe with free tuition)</p>
<p>** Please let me know what other safeties/reaches/schools i should check out!!! ** I got a 29 on my ACTs and i’m a pretty good student (all a’s mostly) if that helps you.</p>
<p>Northeastern (match)
Brown (reach reach reach)
Boston College (if I get over my fear of the staircase) (match)
Holy Cross (match)
URI (safety)
RPI (match)</p>
<p>My top choices are NEU and Brown, but I doubt I’ll get into Brown, and even if I did, I’d be on the lower spectrum of students. I’d probably rather be an averager at NEU than on the lower end at Brown.</p>
<p>Wow, many of you guys have already every choice planned… and me, well I’m just not THAT certain about the ones I will apply to, but I need far more research than what I have done But so far I have some: (in no order)</p>
<p>-Rice
-Baylor (though I don’t like its location)
-Harvard
-U.Penn
-University Tx at Austin
-Texas A&M
-Hopkins? (heard it’s difficult to get in)
-…</p>
<p>As you can see, I’m mostly looking for ones within the limits of Texas, but I’m quite excited and nervous about the far away ones… mostly Harvard (since it’s a top school, and well I still hope that I can get in, if not oh I tried :(). Though I NEED to look for other ones (including other Ivy schools, I hope I get in one!) ;)</p>
<p>Already made a list but felt like making a new one. Basically in order of selectivity after Columbia.</p>
<p>COLUMBIA (possibly ED)
Yale
Brown

Penn State Honors (like the program, not the location (too close), so might not end up applying)

Juilliard

Manhattan School of Music</p>
