College Search & Selection

<p>I'm applying to both big universities and smaller colleges, but after this very inspiring speech my spanish teacher gave in class today i again started to lean towards the LAC's.</p>

<p>GPA w- 3.9
uw -3.7
4 ap's senior year</p>

<p>Sat - 2050 (V630-M740- W680)
Toefl -112
SAt 2 - bio 720, chem 680, taking math in november</p>

<p>Ec's -

ineterested in languages, fluent in 3, taking another 2 (in spanish ap now), my spanish teacher is writing me a lor. i'm also ukrainian, but have a greencard. money is not an issue (at this point at least)</p>

<p>Colleges -
carleton
macalester
middlebury
kenyon
wesleyan
bates
vassar
hamilton</p>

<p>I believe that Macalester, Kenyon, Bates and Hamilton could be your matches/high matches. What are your safeties?</p>

3

<p>If you wanted to stay in California, I think that Pitzer could be a safety and Scripps could be a match. Not sure exactly where Claremont-McKenna would fall, but Pomona would be a reach.</p>

4

<p>Nester - good suggestions, I agree with them and to add, CMC would be a reach.</p>

5

<p>thanks Nester but I want to get out of california. I’m looking at schools in the northern part of US</p>

6

<p>You might want to throw Kalamazoo on as a safety. It has a more “intellectual” atmosphere that it looks like you are going for from your college list.</p>

<p>Denison, Depauw, and Bucknell would all be “match-ish” and are all similar in personality to Hamilton.</p>

7

<p>What about Skidmore?</p>

8

<p>isn’t skidmore an all-women college in cali? that’s not what i’m looking for</p>

9

<p>^^^</p>

<p>Nope (you’re probably thinking of Scripts). Skidmore is a co-ed LAC in upstate NYC.</p>

10

<p>Earlham College in Indiana is similar to Macalaster, but probably more match/low-match for you. They love internationals.</p>

11

<p>I doubt i will apply to any aother colleges because i already have 25 schools on my list and can’t cut it (my parents want me to apply to certain schools…)</p>

12

<p>I think that t1388 has it pegged correctly.</p>

<p>What is your entire list at this point?</p>

<p>brewerfan, i though that most colleges that you said are matches are actually reaches for me</p>

16

<p>You probably have lots of matches, but without rank it’s hard to say. And can we assume no FA application, that will make a huge difference.</p>

17

<p>hmom5
yes, i’m not applying for FA, my parents are willing to pay, even though i have no idea how))
and i don’t know if my school ranks</p>

18

<p>also rec’s are pretty good, my spanish teacher let me see it today and it was good)</p>
