<p>oh parents, who love us so and are protective and dont want us to go far because they know more about the world and we are naive.</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>Do it!! Secretly. lol.</p>
<p>Okay, updated list in order of reach match safety:</p>
<p>Stanford
University of Southern California
Notre Dame
Vanderbilt
Loyola Marymount
U Washington
Chapman
Auburn
CSU Long Beach</p>
<p>that wouldnt be fair to people who want/and are ABLE to go lol. plus it would only make me even more angry</p>
<p>and here’s my list, especially for Marine lol</p>
<p>EA:
MIT
NEU
Rutgers
UMass</p>
<p>RD/EE:
Wellesley
Smith
BU
RPI
Yale</p>
<p>UCB
UCLA
UCSD
UCD
UCI
UCSB
USC
Cal Poly
UW</p>
<p>I’m pretty much staying on the Pacific as going anywhere else would be a burden on my family. </p>
<p>I want Berkeley and LA the most and anything below that will be pretty disappointing to me. SD is kinda pushing it, though.</p>
<p>@CPU: MIT EA :D</p>
<p>I’m getting out of the South if it’s the last thing I do.
West coast baby. USC is my #1 choice but if it doesn’t work out I can just transfer!</p>
<p>transfers get less aid $ :(</p>
<p>i’m gonna make sure i go to the RIGHT school. even if that means staying overnight for two weeks sr year lol</p>
<p>if i get into MIT, i’m not applying anywhere else. seriously i love smith and everything, but no.</p>
<p>Oh yea, that’s right… ehhh.</p>
<p>If I get into USC for the scholarship, then I’m withdrawing my Vanderbilt app. I love it, but… :D</p>
<p>Southern California hands down!! 
</p>
<p>I’m debating USC too. Maybe I’ll try! Do they have any merit scholarships? </p>

<p>Yep they do 
You should apply!</p>
<p>Ooh okay! I think I will </p>

<p>Certain:</p>
<p>MIT
Harvey Mudd
UChicago
Rice
Carnegie Mellon
UC Berkeley (safety)
UCLA (backup safety)
UC Santa Barbara - College of Creative Studies</p>
<p>Uncertain:</p>
<p>Caltech (low admit rate + didn’t take physics, due to self-studying both B and C AP exams)
Swarthmore (low admit rate + “never heard of it”)
Carleton (“never heard of it”)
Grinnell (cornfields + “never heard of it”)
URochester (“never heard of it”)
UC San Diego (not particularly interested + might be a waste of app money)</p>
<p>where “never heard of it” probably means my parents might not send me there if I can go to Berkeley instead.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if I’m going to apply EA to anything (definitely not ED, since MIT is my first choice), because I might need the support of my first semester grades. I took Algebra 2 in 10th grade, no precalc/calc in 11th grade, and am taking multivariable calculus in senior year, so an A in that might help boost my “mathiness” credibility.</p>
<p>-Columbia (top choice!)
-UChicago (2nd choice!)
-Yale
-Amherst
-Pomona (kinda far, but…whatevs)
-McGill (probably a safety)
-UCONN (parent-mandated in-state safety)
-maybe Harvard as a random fantasy fling</p>
<p>Energize- nice list!</p>
<p>Jake- my mom wanted me to apply to UCONN as a financial safety, but if I get into a top school, it’ll actually be cheaper than UCONN</p>
<p>The funny part is that even for in-state tuition, UCONN is not all that cheap. (I’m assuming you’re in-state…) I have nothing against the school and if I got good fin.aid. I would consider it. Buuuuuut, I don’t really want to be at college with half of my graduating class lol.</p>
<p>EXACTLY! Everyone goes there!
I don’t want to sound conceited, but people who BS’d their way through high school get in, I want to get accepted somewhere that seems nearly impossible and that 99% of the students worked just as hard as I did. </p>
<p>Yeah I am instate. No good schools here lol.</p>
<p>Honestly I don’t know what tier schools I should be looking at…
I have a 4.15 weighted
library volunteer job 8 yrs
Girl Scout 11 yrs-earned bronze and silver award, working on gold(similar to bs eagle)
NHS
varsity tennis 4 yrs
swim team 4 yrs
3 APs jr year
3 or 4 more next year…</p>
<p>I’ve gotten a lot of stuff from colleges because of the psat…but some are very well known and others have very high acceptance rates, so I don’t know…any help?</p>
<p>What’s your unweighted GPA? Colleges use that. </p>
<p>What is a similar major to anthropology? Maybe that’s more commonly available? I’m applying to MIT, Yale, Cornell, RPI, and Wellesley. I don’t think I have a good chance, but it doesn’t hurt to try</p>
