Class of 2015: College Lists

<p>Princeton
Yale
Columbia
Duke
Penn
Carnegie Mellon
NYU
Rutgers</p>

<p>I’m applying/considering to several of the same schools @Cosmological. Reed is also one of my favorites and for many of the same reasons - but I’m doing ED at WashU. I also plan on majoring in physics, but might try out engineering if I go to a college that offers it.</p>

<p>I applied Early Action to Tulane, Colorado College and UChicago…and I am doing RD to Grinnell, Rice, Tufts,Carleton & Reed… </p>

<p>I’m unsure if I want to apply to Lafayette, Swarthmore, and Macalester. I like Swarthmore because it’s my favorite LAC in the KNAC (Keck Northeast Astronomy Consortium) but I’m not as much appealed to the Northeast. Swat also has given me the cheapest net price estimate, too. Macalester is in the Midwest and I like the Midwest. Lafayette is also in the east…and they don’t really have good need-based aid. Plus the environment there isn’t like other more “intellectual” LACs, so I’ve heard… but they do have engineering…</p>

<p>Amherst
Bates<br>
Bowdoin
Brown<br>
Middlebury<br>
Oberlin
Pomona<br>
Swarthmore<br>
Vassar<br>
Wesleyan [ED]<br>
Williams</p>

<p>Clearly I have a type lol</p>

<p>@curiousincident‌ Our lists are almost identical, haha. I’m doing ED I to Vassar and ED II to Midd if I don’t get accepted at Vassar, but if I could do ED III somewhere, I’d choose Wesleyan :)</p>

<p>Dickinson (EA)
Marist (EA)
UNH (EA)
UVA (EA)
Purdue (EA)
Washington (EA)
Brandeis
Champlain (Kind of regret applying, but at least it was free)</p>

<p>Rice
Bowdoin (maybe)
American</p>

<p>Not class of 2015, but my list for next year as of right now (in no particular order of preference):</p>

<p>Early Action:
-UNC CH
-Miami (OH)</p>

<p>Regular Decision:
-Kansas
-Mizzou</p>

<p>Rolling:
-Bama
-Loyola Chicago
-Ohio U</p>

<p>May or May Not Send in an App:
-Northwestern (almost too reach-y, and I’d be RD so that wouldn’t help either)
-Cornell (Ivy League)
-Creighton University in Omaha (match)</p>

<p>As far as stats go, UNC’s a reach simply because I’m OOS; if I was instate it’d be a match. 'Bama’s a match, as is Loyola Chicago. The others are all safety-ish, so I think I’m covered.</p>

<ol>
<li>Stanford (EA)</li>
<li>Yale (EA)
</li>
<li>Princeton (EA)*</li>
<li>Harvard (RD)</li>
<li>Columbia (RD)</li>
<li>Johns Hopkins (RD)</li>
<li>Brown (RD)</li>
<li>UChicago (RD)</li>
<li>Cornell (RD)</li>
<li>UT Austin (AUTO)</li>
<li>Alabama (Rolling)</li>
<li>Purdue (Rolling)</li>
<li>Baylor (RD)</li>
<li>Tulane (RD)</li>
</ol>

<p>*If I get accepted into anyone of these during EA, then none of my RD apps are going in. Since I’m already in at Alabama and Texas, I’ve adopted a ‘go big or go home’ mentality. </p>

<p>lol I was expecting this @anon7195‌ . I just decided to ignore the REA rules anyway. :slight_smile: No, seriously, I’m a QuestBridge Finalist. I am really thankful for the opportunity because it is essentially allowing me to apply EA to all those wonderful schools. That’s how I could apply to all of them early.</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you guys, hope y’all are livin’ stress free, there’s some really good lists on here. Definitely curious as to where we’ll all end up.</p>

<p>@Pikidikitiki‌ for Alabama I assume you mean full tuition, not full ride</p>

<p>@Phillyy15 Yeah no, I mean full ride bro. Tuition + living + more ha, the tuition is just the only thing I was "guaranteed’ based on stats alone, UA forked out more than that though.</p>

<p>Agnes Scott College
Beloit College
Chapman University
