<p>Where do you think you'll be applying by the end of this year?</p>
<p>Rice, Baylor, WUSTL, Rhodes, Yale (haha, I need one super reach!), and maybe Carleton. </p>
<p>I’m looking into other colleges (a few more safeties probably and one more reach for fun) also, but these are my main college choices so far :D.</p>
<p>5 Ivies (I know, unrealistic, but the admissions process is so truly random that I still have hope, but I won’t be disappointed if I don’t get it. That’s how I feel about Duke) ; Duke, Reed, NYU, and Brandeis; And my safeties/high matches are: Penn State and UMass. I know it’s a bit excessive, but I’m just paranoid I won’t get in anywhere. I need to get a job to pay for application fees though :/</p>
<p>Lets go class of '13!! 
I will be applying to:
Columbia (most likely ED),
NYU,
CUNY Baruch and the Macaulay Honors College,
St Joseph’s U in Philly,
University of Virginia,
Villanova,
a SUNY school not sure which one yet but probably New Paltz
Scranton
And University of San Francisco
I live in NYC so that’s why I have more northeast schools but I absolutely love SF so I have one west coast school! Looking forward to see where I get accepted :)</p>
<p>26 schools including every Ivy. </p>
<p>I’m paranoid. Lol.</p>
<p>^You’re worse than me. Lol, I want to apply to more, but don’t have enough money</p>
<p>I’m from FL, but absolutely hate FL schools (and FL in general), which is why I have no southern schools except Duke (it’s awesome though).</p>
<p>I have a list of 29 schools that I NEED to narrow down this summer. The breakdown is 6 far reaches, 11 reaches, 8 possibles, and 4 likelys [ranked by my college counselor]. So far my top choice far reaches are Cornell, Amherst and Brown. I really like Georgetown, Northwestern and Rice [and Bowdoin!], which are reaches, as well.</p>
<p>Pace University
LIU
SUNY Oneonta
CUNY queens college
Sage colleges ( gaurenteed acceptance)
College of Saint Rose</p>
<p>I’m so happy to have a final list! It makes me so nervous and excited at the same time to think about college.</p>
<p>Hamilton (my only reach, surprised I didn’t like any other “top-tier” schools)
Northeastern
Fordham (my two matches)
Fairfield
U. Of Pitt
Manhattanville
U. Of Denver (my safety schools. I’m paranoid of not getting in anywhere.)</p>
<p>@Rachel </p>
<p>I love Duke.
Yeah, I’m so worried that I won’t make it in anywhere. </p>
<p>Yeah, I plan on getting many fees waived. I’m super poor. LOL</p>
<p>I am too. But you can only get 4 fee waivers</p>
<p>Where did you hear this?</p>
<p>^NACAC or whatever it is states it in their fee waiver policy, and if you qualify for free/reduced lunch your guidance counselor tells you that you only get four fee waivers.</p>
<p>I have 13 schools. It’s either staying this long or getting shorter and that’s the end of it. lol</p>
<p>Caltech
MIT
Harvard
Princeton
Rice
Berkeley (?)
Harvey Mudd (?)</p>
<p>depending on SAT score, will adjust accordingly</p>
<p>Early to UNC, and hopefully that’s it.</p>
<p>Nuuuuuuuu. Lol. </p>
<p>I heard that the school itself will waive the fee per a letter from your counselor…</p>
<p>Cornell, Amherst, Dartmouth, Brown, G’town, UNC, Northwestern, Rice, Tufts…</p>
<p>Penn State, Temple, Drexel, and then Lafayette or Lehigh for my “high” reaches (maybe). If I can raise my SAT/ACT score enough before I apply to colleges, perhaps I can add some “better” colleges to my list, but the first three are the ones I’m really looking at.</p>
<p>12th-ish revision of my list 
Rice
Princeton
Vanderbilt
Yale
UChicago
USCarolina/Clemson (not sure which… definitely one of these, possibly both. Read: maany factors at play here)
Boston University
Columbia</p>
<p>(Bolds are definite applications, all the others are still subject to massive change, haha)</p>
<p>7 Canadian schools, 7 American schools.
US:
Elon
Ball State
Northwestern
IU Bloomington
Otterbein
Baldwin-Wallace
