<p>Georgetown
UVA
W&M
Alabama</p>

<p>Possibly:
Northwestern
Virginia Tech</p>

109

<p>My list is probably lacking big time but

Trinity (have yet to visit)
Wellesley (have yet to visit)</p>

<p>I’m applying to either Bennington or Hampshire as a safety; I haven’t decided which yet. Probably Bennington.</p>

112

<p>Definitely:

<p>Need to Research:

  4. Richmond</p>

<p>Which is way to many. I’m probably going to eventually choose ten.</p>

113

<p>My life of will-definitely-apply, along with it’s ranking:</p>

<p>Safety:
Washington and Jefferson College - 1
Stetson University - 2
Eckerd College - 3
College of Idaho - 4</p>

<p>Match:
Berea College - 6
College of the Ozarks -7 </p>

<p>Reach:
Brown University - 5</p>

<p>Note: The reason all of my safeties are ranked higher than the others is because they are pet friendly, and it’s really important for me to be able to bring my cat with me to college :slight_smile:
And I only have one reach because I like the idea of small schools, and most top-colleges have 10000+ students :confused: I’ve considered Dartmouth, but they require SAT II’s.</p>

114

<p>Reaches:
Stanford
Princeton
UPenn (Wharton or M&T)
M.I.T

118

<p>You should cut down on those reaches and matches. :open_mouth: @DaneBrick‌ </p>

119

<p>@Hawkace. I don’t think DaneBrick should cut down on the number of matches. It is usually pretty healthy to have a lo of matches.</p>
