<p>Uhh - I put Caltech as a fit-reach. A Caltech student admissions officer told me that I was very borderline so if I improved I could have a decent shot. As for UChicago - people who evaluated my stats said I have a 75%-90%, likely, but not guaranteed. And I fit in with Chicago too. I can also imagine myself in Caltech - but not MIT.</p>
<p>umm...I don't know. I really want to go to Syracuse or UM, but I don't have a chance.</p>
<p>American U.
Ohio U.
Bowling Green State U.
Hollins U.
Midway College
Purdue U.
Denison U.
Marietta College</p>
<p>We'll see what happens with the SAT scores in April.</p>

<p>Agnes Scott College (Target)
American University (Safety)
Bryn Mawr College (Target)
Claremont McKenna College<br>
Georgetown University (Reach)<br>

Mount Holyoke College (Target)<br>
Randolph-Macon Woman's College (Safety)<br>

<p>Where is the American University, oneiros or poison?</p>
<p>Washington D.C.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and you reminded me, I've also got some UK universites, like Richmond, but also U of Wales and a few others.</p>
<p>Well, I know I'm two years away from applying (I'm a soph), but I think these are basically where I'm thinkin:</p>
<p>Oberlin (my top choice after my dad banned Vassar from my options)
Denison
Kenyon
Grinnell
Carleton (maybe)</p>
<p>This list is in progress...I'm still researching a lot...its bound to change in the next year or so, but Oberlin will definetely probably stay number one, and Denison/Kenyon/Grinnell will probably stay, too.</p>
<p>thewildflower: I'm curious as to why your dad banned Vassar College?</p>
<p>I'm thinking about:
Harvard (most likely early action here) and Princeton
Columbia
UPenn
Duke
Stanford
MIT</p>
<p>JHU
UChicago
NYU</p>
<p>I don't know, I change my mind about colleges and majors once every ten seconds -_-</p>
<p>Currently, it's...</p>
<p>Matches: WashU, Northwestern, Rice, UChicago, Duke
Reaches: Yale, Stanford, Dartmouth
Safeties: I don't know...Kansas University if it comes down to it, I guess.</p>
<p>I'm definitely having a hard time with UChicago. I visited the campus on Monday and I'm really having a lot of mixed feelings about it. I love the atmosphere, classes, professors, and the intellectualism, but dislike the urban setting, cramped buildings, quarter scheduling, weather, and lack of non-academic opportunities (aka, stuff to do for fun =P). </p>
<p>Haha...I remember deus.ex.machina saying that she was really intent on going to UChicago a while ago. Through about half of the information session I wondered if there was something wrong with deus...</p>
<p>Probably:</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
Dartmouth
UPenn
WUSTL
Williams
Stanford
Cornell (Safety)</p>
<p>Cornell University the ivy as a safety? Safety? =|.</p>
