<p>@foolish stop being an idiot</p>
<p>@Phillyy15 you meant:
“@foolish stop being [foolish]” right?</p>
<p>No. I mean what I said</p>
<p>Oh…thats disappointing…</p>

<p>@RunningForLife no safeties?</p>
<p>@BPearl UNC is one of my safeties. my other ones i didnt list since i dont want to give away too much geographical info</p>
<p>@runningforlife unc is only a safety if you live in NC…</p>
<p>Applied (awaiting decision): </p>
<p>Bard
Boston College
Fordham
Northeastern </p>
<p>Applying:</p>
<p>Amherst
Brandeis
NYU
The College of New Jersey
Rochester
SUNY Binghamton
Tufts
Vassar </p>
<p>Accepted (yay!) </p>
<p>Rutgers
University of Minnesota </p>
<p>@Phillyy: then i guess its a match haha. i still have 2 safeties though. </p>
<p>That’s good @runningforlife</p>
<p>narrowed it down to these 6:
reach: NYU, NEU
target: SUNY BING, UCONN, DREXEL
safety: CUNY HUNTER</p>
<p>Colgate (ED)
U of Mich (EA)
UVA (EA)
Northeastern (EA)
Wooster (EA)
Case Western (EA)</p>
<p>RISD, MICA, Ringling, SVA
I believe they’ll all be safety/target schools - just pends on the Scholarship amount.</p>
<p>Considering Pratt and SAIC… probably not though. Very different from where my peers are applying to… since I’m planning to major in the arts.</p>
<p>Top choice: Reed College (ED2, but not really liking my first quarter scores so RD probably sigh…), UChicago (Not sure if I’ll apply)
Other schools: Carleton, Macalester, UMN Twin Cities, URochester, Cornell University (Not sure if I’ll apply), Brandeis, Boston University, Northeastern University (Applied EA), Stony Brook.</p>
<p>Amherst
Bard
Bennington
Bowdoin
Connecticut
Dartmouth
Middlebury (ED II)
Vassar (ED I, top choice obvi)
Wesleyan
Williams</p>
<p>@Cosmological: I’m guessing you’re still planning to major in Astronomy. What’s the program at Reed like?</p>
<p>@DiscipulusBonus I’m not planning to major in Astronomy, just General Physics. I’d like to become a particle physicist but I might take an astronomy course or two.</p>
<p>Reed’s program is among the best Physics programs for LACs. It isn’t like Harvey Mudd’s program, and William’s Physics degree might be a bit better, but it has a really good depth and breadth of classes that will prepare one for a PhD. Lots of Physics majors go on to get PhDs after Reed. </p>
<p>They have a nuclear reactor, the only or one of the only nuclear reactors run by undergraduates, and you get to develop close relationships with professors. Also, if a course isn’t offered, you could take a special topics course to cover it. They don’t offer Quantum Field Theory and the preliminary path integral type courses, so I’d probably take a special topics course in that. They also don’t have relativistic Quantum Mechanics, so that could be another possible special topics course as well. </p>
<p>Students are really prepared for a PhD because you have to write a thesis for senior year. I’d do either the Physics or Mathematics-Physics interdisciplinary major if I get in.</p>
