Class of 2010: Where will You be applying this fall?

<p>Cornell (Hotel School!!!)
UPenn (Wharton)
NYU (Stern)
Wake Forest (maybe…)
Georgetown(maybe…)
Boston U (maybe…)
Oregon State (Honors hopefully…safety)</p>

<p>Other than that I am not sure…any ideas for safeties with good business programs?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, Vt is ‘meh.’ Honestly, I’m not to wild about going there, so it may fall off the list. JMU is a very nice campus from all of what I’ve seen so it’s a possibility.</p>

<p>Also I didn’t know about this math thing o.O. Wow, I agree. I believe I would learn so much more with a professor.</p>

<p>These are the four I’m thinking about right now, i’ll probably do more research this summer so i can end up applying to 6-10</p>

<ol>
<li>Washington University in St. Louis < really like</li>
<li>Boston University and their accelerated premed < really nice program</li>
<li>UCSF</li>
<li>Northeastern (for pharmacy)</li>
</ol>

<p>These aren’t in any particular order. I plan on majoring in Poli Sci and minoring in Anthropology/Archeology, possibly the other way around or even double majoring.</p>

<p>Michigan State University
U of Arizona
Depaul University
Penn State U Park
U of Connecticut
New York University
UC Santa Barbara
U of Michigan</p>

<p>Northeastern
Boston University
NYU CAS (top choice)
Columbia Fu
John Hopkins</p>

<p>Rice (Top choice!!)
Emory/Oxford @ Emory
UF</p>

<p>i have a few safeties, but hoping I won’t need them.</p>

<p>I have 15 schools picked out (or is it 16? I remember all of them but not the number of them), but there are a lot I won’t apply to if I get into the ones where I’m applying early.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Cambridge (first choice)</p></li>
<li><p>Yale
Harvard
MIT (no chance. at all)
Swarthmore
UChicago (Right next to my sister at Northwestern)</p></li>
<li><p>Dartmouth
Cornell (legacy please? They didn’t let my sister in though)</p></li>
<li><p>UMich (I think my best friend is set on going there, and I can’t imagine that she wouldn’t get in)
Georgetown
Vassar</p></li>
<li><p>Washington University at St. Louis
George Washington (are you still legacy if it was a master’s degree?)
Carnegie Mellon
OSU (safety)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>If I got into Number 1, I’d still apply to all of the number 2s because my parents might really not want me to go and for financial aid stuff. If I got into the number 2s, I’d apply to some of my 3s and 4s, but not all. I probably need to find some more schools that are less selective, but my guidance counselor said nothing, so here’s hoping I don’t end up stuck going to OSU.</p>

<p>Wow, I guess a lot of people are way more organized than me. XD I have nothing but vague ideas and confused thoughts about the places I’d like to end up… hopefully if I visit a lot of these places this summer I’ll have more solid opinions.</p>

<p>A semi-coherent ranking:

  • Harvard (rofl likely rejection, but it can’t hurt to try… unless you count weeks upon weeks of extreme stress and at the end of it all, dreams crushed into a thousand tiny, bitter pieces)
  • UPenn (a bit more realistic, but still…)
  • Boston U? Columbia? Carnegie Mellon? NYU? Tufts? McGill? UChicago? UWash? OSU? AND MANY MORE! This is my “confused” group of colleges I obviously need to learn more about.
  • UNO (super in-state safety, ultimate last choice, I think I’d die if I had to go)</p>

<p>By preference…

UNC-Chapel Hill
Notre Dame
Cornell

<p>Isnt UCSF only for grad school?</p>

<ol>
<li>VA Tech–first choice</li>
<li>UVA</li>
<li>VCU</li>
<li>GMU</li>
<li>W&M</li>
<li>ODU</li>
<li>Last but not least, MIT (dream choice.)</li>
</ol>

<p>^^ Yeah! Another VA resident. Hehe. :slight_smile: ^^</p>

<p>University of Minnesota - TC (Safety)
University of Wisconsin - Madison (Safety)
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (Match)
Northwestern University (Slight Reach)
UC Berkeley (Reach)
Cornell University (Reach)</p>

<p>I want to narrow it down to 4-5 though.</p>

<p>I have to apply to UCONN.
Then probably Northeastern, BU, BC, Tufts, Temple, Providence College, and either UPenn or Brown as a reach</p>

<p>Wesleyan (target)
Lewis and Clark (safety)
Occidental (safety)
Pitzer (safety)
Santa Clara (safety)
U. Puget Sound (safety)
Hawaii Pacific (complete safety. I just want piece of mind knowing that I will not be THAT person who ends up going to trade school because I couldn’t get into college… nothing against trade school, though)
UCSB (slight reach because I’m out of state)
Reed (not sure if I’ll even apply)
Pomona (reach)
Stanford (reach)</p>

<p>Seems like Stanford is definitely a popular choice.</p>

<p>Here’s my list so far!</p>

<p>Northwestern
Vanderbilt
Emory
Princeton
Washington University in St. Louis
Notre Dame
Clemson (safety!)</p>

<p>i’m curious: how important is region/family proximity to you when looking at a school?</p>

<p>I live on the East Coast, and I’m only applying to one East Coast school. Ironically, I have this feeling that’s where I’ll end up. Regardless, my logic is that my parents/family can get in a car and drive for 9 hours and get lost and flustered in the process OR they can hop on a plane, sit for 5 hours and see my smiling face.</p>
