<ol>
<li>Washington University in St. Louis</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon</li>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>MAYBE…MIT</li>
</ol>

<p>with 3 safeties</p>

<ol>
<li>U of I Champaign-Urbana</li>
<li>UIC</li>
<li>Loyola</li>
</ol>

<p>@mangocandy4 i would, but Brown is more liberal arts, and im going into the sciences!</p>

<p>There are SOOO many liberal arts schools that are strong in the sciences.</p>

<p>Also… Mangocandy was being sarcastic… Get it?</p>

<p>Okay I’ll chime in too.</p>

<p>EA
Yale
UMD</p>

<p>RD
Harvard
Princeton (which I had never considered until a recent
info session)<br>
UPenn
Columbia
UChicago
Georgetown
Wesleyan
Duke
Boston University
University of Pittsburgh</p>

<p>Wow, this list is kind of long. That must be the reason I always write it horizontally. Hahahaa.</p>

<p>I’ve decided to make my first tentative list of colleges, with an emphasis on tentative.</p>

<p>EA:

  • Yale</p>

<p>RD:

  • Georgetown
  • NYU
  • American U
  • Howard
  • Cornell
  • U Chicago
  • Dartmouth
  • UPenn
  • Brown
  • UC Berkeley & UCLA (although certainly not my favorites)
  • Swarthmore (I want to apply to at least one LAC)</p>

<p>Not gonna lie, I think I’m going to apply to a few more. People say it’s better to apply to just a few schools (5-7 in my school’s opinion), but I feel like that’s too limiting. I’ve learned that it’s safer to have as many options as possible.</p>

<p>Update!</p>

<p>USC (#1)
Loyola Marymount (early action)
Santa Clara (early action)
Pomona
CSU Long Beach
Washington University in St. Louis
George Washington
Vanderbilt</p>

<p>Would any of you ever apply to rival schools?!</p>

<p>Like Duke & UNC?
Harvard & Yale?
UPenn & Princeton?</p>

<p>^ I would probably apply to duke and UNC. I had no clue that Princeton and Penn were rivals… Silly me, haha.</p>

<p>Oops. Looks like I left off a school on my list - U Miami (early action).</p>

<p>ED: Either Colgate or Amherst. Colgate keeps in contact with me more
Vanderbilt
U of I-(Illinois resident)
Michigan State
Butler
Marquette
Amherst/Colgate (which ever one I don’t do ED for)
Brown…ehh. not too excited.
Swarthmore
Vassar</p>

<h1>1 Duke</h1>

<h1>2 USC</h1>

<h1>3 Berkeley</h1>

<h1>4 UCLA</h1>

<p>Rank: 4/270.
Cumulative GPA: 4.2 (weighted w/ Honors)
SAT: 2200
*I’m a minority lol (Pacific Islander)</p>

<p>If I don’t get into Duke or USC, I’m gonna cry my eyes out lol.</p>

<p>^ :open_mouth: I am too! Where are you from?!
You probably won’t see this, haha.</p>

<p>I don’t really think UPenn and Princeton are rivals, honestly. But maybe I’m just misinformed.</p>

<p>However, I think that since there are far more similarities between schools like Harvard and Yale than differences, it wouldn’t hurt to apply to both schools - you’d have more options around decisions time that way.</p>

<p>Ivy leagues, Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College London, WUSTL, Boston College/ University, Rochester, state schools.</p>

<p>wow you guys are applying to some big schools!</p>

<p>here’s my list, the last two are safeties.</p>

<ol>
<li>University of Maryland</li>
<li>University of Miami</li>
<li>University of Michigan</li>
<li>Cornell University</li>
<li>College of William & Mary</li>
<li>Emory University</li>
<li>George Washington University</li>
<li>Georgetown University</li>
<li>Marist College</li>
<li>Stony Brook University</li>
</ol>

<p>Hey Im a member of the class of 2013. I was wondering if any of you are applying to an HBCU and if so why and not why not. I’m just curious because I have to start looking around for colleges and the only HBCU that I’ve looked at was Howard and only because I am a double legacy there.</p>

<p>Yes , I am applying to Three HBCU’s

  1. Morehouse
  2. Xavier LA
  3. Howard U</p>

<p>There are many reasons why I am applying to HBCU’s. 1st there is an enormous amount of Black culture and pride at these schools. The social life Is awesome. But most importantly many if these schools are top of the line institutions that send it’s students into the TOP graduate schools & programs</p>

<p>That’s cool. But are you worried about having a campus not as diverse as othet schools? I visited Howard last summer and it reminded me of school. Also, students from my is school who go or went to Howard say that part of it is like a fashion show which discourages me from applying. Can anyone clear this up?</p>

<p>Future Special Education Teacher</p>

<p>My top two schools:
Juniata College-I know it’s bad to fall in love with a college, but I don’t know what I’ll do with myself if I can’t go here. This is the perfect school for me.
Clarion University of Pennsylvania</p>

<p>Other Schools:
Millersville University of Pennsylvania
Keystone College
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania</p>
