College List

Applying to College

<p>I'm looking for schools with politically active students/good poli sci, gov, and/or econ programs and a campus oriented social life. Would the following list work under these criteria or would they be too difficult or not work well (In terms of stats, I have a 96 weighted GPA, 800CR 790M 770W SATs, ECs mostly centered around debate, some national recognition but nothing extraordinary, and essays that are unorthodox and somewhat funny.)</p>

<p>I applied to Penn CAS early, applied to Michigan rolling.</p>

<p>Regular:</p>

<p>Dartmouth
Georgetown
Tufts
Cornell
Penn State
SUNY Bing
NYU and Columbia (NYU because its close, and Columbia for its social science/humanities strength)
and Harvard Yale Princeton.</p>

<p>Would this list be too reach heavy? I would love it if you can classify the schools by reach,match,safety and by how good a fit it would be. I have done research, but it would be nice to see some other opinions.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>I think Binghamton and Penn State are safeties, so it's o kay that you're trying a lot of reaches. If you don't get into Penn, I think you are low reach/high match at Cornell, Dartmouth, Gtown, Tufts. Columbia is a higher reach. NYU is a low match.</p>
