<p>Yeah, but I’m technically a URM, have great stats and EC’s, but know that I can’t really consider any Ivies to be a target. At that level, it’s really hard to know whether or not they’ll accept you</p>
<p>@marinebiosax
Ha I know its somewhat incongruous with the rest of the list. But my parents are pushing it, and since I’m in-state and with my stats I’m pretty sure UTK would end up paying me like $5000/year to go there</p>
<p>@born2dance94: How are you technically a URM? What’s your ethnicity?</p>
<p>And some people just have a lot of…confidence. Haha. Ivies aren’t a “target” for anyone, imo, but some have a better chance than others.</p>
<p>@elizaruns: Ohh okay. My friends want me to apply to UT Chatt, but the only in-state school I really like is Vanderbilt lol. :)</p>
<p>I don’t feel like it’s really realistic for anyone to consider HYPS as a target, considering that the acceptance rates for even 2400 SATs are around 20%. But if you’re well enough qualified to consider those schools likely to accept you, then kudos because I’m not lol
@Marinebiosax
Yea I feel you on that, I know tons of ppl applying to chatt. And I like Vandy, everybody always talks about the stuck-up vibe though, which bothers me a bit</p>
<p>Haha one girl in my school keeps spouting off these ridiculous statistics that she’s got a 70% in at Brown because her mother went there, and that she’s <em>bound</em> to get into their super-duper-selective 6 yr medical program. LOLZ, her grades are like mostly As, a few B+s</p>
<p>@MarinebioSax I’m partially Hispanic by ethnicity. I never grew up with that background, but when I started learning Spanish 5 years ago in school, I fell in love with the culture and am always trying to learn more about any/all Hispanic countries/cultures so even though most would say I’m white because ethnically I’m more white than Hispanic, I ended up knowing a lot/appreciating the culture of it as well, so I’m thinking of checking the box for Hispanic, but I don’t know yet.</p>
<p>@born2dance94: Ohh well I’m part Dominican but I’m fluent in Spanish lol. If you’re part, then check the box. -shrug-
And tell that girl that just because she’s a legacy doesn’t automatically mean her chances are that high. Entitlement isn’t cute lol.</p>
<p>@elizaruns: A lot of schools, including the Ivy League, have the ‘stuck-up’ vibe. That should never discourage you from applying! 
When I visited last spring, I didn’t get a stuck-up vibe.</p>

</p>
<p>I actually also might consider Brown; the rest of my list had Princeton and Cornell as possibilities. I’m mostly looking for strong math/physics/CS programs, and the other Ivies (besides Harvard, which I don’t really know much about) don’t have those.</p>
<p>@everyone: Could someone point out some possible disadvantages of applying EA? I might do that for MIT and UChicago (and maybe Caltech if I decide to apply there), but I don’t know if I should wait for first semester grades to help my app…</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I’m doing Smith ED. I’m not totally sure where else I’ll apply if that doesn’t work out (though hopefully it will; I think I have a pretty good shot), but right now my RD list includes Barnard, Amherst, Middlebury, Mount Holyoke, and Yale.</p>
<p>@energize: The only real disadvantage I can think of is they won’t see your 1st semester senior grades.
And maybe the fact that you’ll have less time to prepare your essays? I have no clue lol.</p>
<p>I’m doing Barnard ED, but other than that, I really don’t know. I’d like to apply to some EA schools too, but I don’t know which ones are EA vs. ED. Anyone help?</p>
<p>My List:</p>
<p>Early Decision: </p>
<p>** Duke / Dartmouth / Penn (I’ll decide after I visit them) **</p>
<p>Early Action:

MIT
**</p>
<p>Regular Decision:

Harvard
Yale
Princeton

<p>Safeties: </p>
<p>**
Rutgers
NYU
Some others…
**</p>
<p>I have other match schools too but I’m too lazy to type them up…</p>
<p>wow…you must be smart haha. Is it true that girls have a better chance at MIT? Maybe I’l apply!</p>
<p>It’s not true. Well slightly. Less females apply to MIT than males, but they still only admit ~800 for each (so 1600 total.)</p>
<p>They won’t admit a girl over a guy, but since the female pool is smaller, girls “technically” have it “easier.”</p>
<p>And now I found out I can apply ED and EA, here’s my final list <em>I promise</em></p>
<p>ED:
Smith</p>

<p>and a few more that im thinking of.</p>
<p>Oh my goodness! You guys are applying to so many colleges! My parents wont let me apply to more than 6</p>
<p>only some schools you can apply to ED and EA. some will only let you apply ED.</p>
<p>anyways, here’s my legit list. it’s more realistic.</p>
<p>EA:
MIT
