<p>Lehigh and Bucknell as low matches, possibly safeties. </p>
<p>If you were willing to leave the northeast: WashU, Emory, Vandy.</p>
<p>UPenn is considered the jewish ivy. Take a look there? Your SAT scores are very strong, making you a competitive candidate</p>
<p>bumping this</p>
<p>W&M has been suggested, and as much as I love the school, I have to say that it’s not in line with your desire for a “good night life scene.” There’s also a 43/57 ratio of male to female students. If the night life is really important to you, I think you’ll want a more urban college.</p>
<p>I actually feel like I’d really like the vibe of W&M, and my GC suggested it as a school I would have a great shot at.</p>
<p>So here’s my RD list (applying to a few schools EA)</p>
<p>UPenn
Cornell
Tufts
Northwestern
Wash U.
Georgetown
W&M
GW?
Duke</p>
<p>I’m just worried that I won’t get into any of them!</p>
<p>Also consider (more to less selective):
Johns Hopkins
Brandeis
Barnard (less selective door into Columbia)
U. Rochester
Case Western (an under-rated school with a “self-selecting” student body and relatively good merit aid)</p>
<p>Consider dropping Georgetown (JHU is a better science/math school for that level of selectivity … although JHU pre-med would be awfully tough)</p>
