261

<ol>
<li>Harvard (SCEA)</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Georgetown</li>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
<li>UCLA</li>

</ol>

262

<p>New list (short but sweet):

  1. UNC
  2. UVA
  3. UGA
  4. Bama Honors
  5. UF (in-state)</p>

<p>Since I’m more than happy with my last two, both safeties, why apply to a ton of colleges?</p>

<p>And already done with the two common app colleges and their essays</p>

263

<p>I tried to make a short balanced list. It’s short, but not so balanced . Might change after I go on visits next week. </p>

<p>Penn
SUNY Binghamton (in-state)
Carnegie Mellon
Brown<br>
UConn
Temple
WPI</p>

264

<p>Mine changed slightly from what I posted before:</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon University
Iowa State University
Milwaukee School of Engineering
MIT
CalTech
Case Western Reserve University
Bradley University
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
Kettering University</p>

<p>Marquette University (maybe…I’m not really religious so I feel like I may not enjoy some of the classes they’ll make me take)</p>

<p>Any advice? I want to shorter my list by maybe one or two. Marquette is most likely to go, but I haven’t visited to know if it’s a good match or not.</p>

265

<p>Not final list, will probably change it a lot in the upcoming days but as of now, in order of preference:</p>

<p>1) MIT (lol I wish)
2) Drexel University
3) Northeastern University
4) UMass Amherst
5) Cal poly SLO
6) Ohio State
7) NJIT (in state, safety)</p>

<p>Considering:</p>

<p>Rice, Cornell (just dont know if they would be worth it tbh)</p>

266

<p>chance me please? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1674376-i-really-need-help-please.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1674376-i-really-need-help-please.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>umich
texas a&m
university of colorado at boulder
university of minnesota
university of cincinnati</p>

267

<p>UC Berkeley
UC Los Angeles
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UC Santa Cruz
UC San Diego
University of the Pacific
And perhaps a couple unrealistic reach private schools.</p>

268

<p>Updated list in order of preference (But now that seems quite a bit hard to do)</p>

<p>I think I’m going to not use the ordered number list because it is really hard to do that</p>

<p>First Choice
-UChicago</p>

<p>Schools I would really really like to attend
-MIT
-Harvard
-Reed
-Carleton
-Cornell</p>

<p>Schools I would be very happy attending
-Carnegie Mellon University
-Boston University
-Northeastern University</p>

<p>Schools I would be pretty happy with attending
-Brandeis University
-University of Rochester
-University of Minnesota at Twin Cities
-Boston College
-Stony Brook University</p>

<p>I think this might be my final list, as I would be very happy to attend any of the schools on my list. If I had to take two off the list, it would be Boston College and University of Rochester.</p>

269

<p>I think this will be my final list, in no particular order.</p>

<ol>
<li>UVA (EA)</li>
<li>Princeton (EA)</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>Boston U</li>
<li>Northeastern</li>
<li>American</li>
<li>Franklin and Marshall</li>
<li>Washington and Lee</li>
<li>Tulane</li>
<li>U of Minnesota</li>
<li>George Mason</li>
<li>Seattle University</li>
<li>U of Alaska Anchorage</li>
</ol>

270

<p>In no particular order:</p>

<p>1) Amherst
2) Oberlin
3) Williams
4) Middlebury
5) Smith
6) UVA
7) William & Mary</p>

<p>(may throw in one or two more, I’m not sure.) </p>

271

<p>Final list (I think/hope):</p>

<ol>
<li>William and Mary (ED)</li>
<li>UVA (EA)</li>
<li>Alabama </li>
</ol>

<p>After looking at so many schools, it’s weird to think how I’ll only be applying to three, but I like these the best and there’s no sense on wasting money applying to other schools when I’d be happy at any of these. So yeah. </p>

272

<p>My original list -
UCSD, UCB, UCSB
USC
Occidental
Rice
Northwestern
Tufts
UMiami
UFlorida
Penn State</p>

<p>My final list -
Stanford
UCB, UCLA, UCSD
USC
Tufts
University of Pittsburgh</p>

<p>Funny how things changed</p>

273

<p>Not 100% sure of my list, but here are the schools I’m expecting to apply to or thinking about applying to:</p>

<p>Georgetown (EA)
Boston College (EA)
Fordham (EA)
Northeastern (EA)
UChicago (EA)
Penn
Harvard
Brown</p>

<p>I’m visiting Harvard, Yale, Brown, Northeastern, and BC this weekend, so my list may change after that.</p>

274

<p>not 100%yet but this is what i’m thinking in order of preference
wustl
case(ppsp)
penn
northwestern
denison
university of cincinnati
osu
indiana</p>

275

<p>Made a slight tweak to my list. I don’t think I’ll be adding any more schools; if there are any future adjustments to this list, it will be via subtraction:</p>

<ol>
<li>Penn State University Park</li>
<li>University of Delaware (honors)</li>
<li>University of Maryland College Park</li>
<li>Rutgers</li>
<li>Millersville University</li>
</ol>

<p>Had to cut Miami because there was no chance I could even visit the school, much less travel 1200 miles to go to school there. </p>

276

<p>Not going to point out anyone specifically, but there are a couple lists here that don’t appear to have anything near a safety on them. Just a small reminder to apply to at least one safety… Applying to a lower calibre school doesn’t mean that you’re less smart - if anything, it means that you’re even smarter. </p>

277

<p>^ @RoseOak3918‌ </p>

<p>But I’m adding UMiami to my list since it’s only about four hours away and has no supplement, plus chance of merit. So, my list is (in order of likelihood):

  1. Alabama
  2. Florida
  3. Miami
  4. North Carolina
  5. Georgia
  6. Virginia</p>
278

<ol>
<li>Boston University ED </li>
<li>Tulane</li>
<li>Brandeis</li>
<li>Binghamton</li>
<li>SUNY Albany</li>
<li>Muhlenberg</li>
<li>SUNY New Paltz</li>
</ol>

<p>^my list</p>

279

<p>My list although I’m 99% locked in on Bama…
Alabama
UNC
UMiami
UVa
Purdue</p>

280
