<p>When I first found about CC, I didn't know many schools except Harvard and Dartmouth. I thought I could try to apply. But look at what's happening now with the admissions process....</p>
<p>Well, due to privacy, I left the details out but PM me and I will be glad to send you my resume, specific test scores,...etc</p>
<p>Good GPA (3.8-3.9)
Great SAT (2300+)
Outstanding ECs (many leadership roles, and many achievements)
Many hours of Comm. Service (300+)
National Achievements in Leadership
AP Scholar with Distinction (and many more APs... very many.. very very many. No 3s,2s,1s.)</p>
<p>I am thinking of:
U of Miami
Hofstra University
Oberlin College
Stanford
Yale
Princeton
Dartmouth
Cornell
U of Chicago
Georgetown
Emory
Florida International University
Duquesne University
University of Massachusetts - Amherst
James Madison University
UVA
Harvard University
Claremont McKenna College
Fordham University
DePauw University
Bentley University
Brandeis University
UC Berkeley
UC Santa Barbara
Creighton University
UF</p>
<p>Creighton is my safety, along with FIU.</p>
<p>Bump it with
U of Rochester… also applying there.</p>
<p>And no URM.</p>
<p>all the advice im going to give you is that when november/december rolls around you should narrow your list down to around 10 school that you really like. right now you at about 30</p>
<p>don’t apply to FIU unless you don’t want to out of Miami (trust me on this one not as fun as it sounds)</p>
<p>it you really need/want to go/stay in Florida then FAU, UCF, and FSU are better bets, FSU is a tier on university, UCF is the bets Engineering School after UF in Florida, and FAU is actually pretty mediocre, BUT AT LEAST is better than FIU</p>
<p>Thank you!
Actually, those are only colleges that I know.
Ivies+schools in Florida.</p>
<p>How do my stats add up?</p>
<p>Any schools that I should get rid of?..etc
I heard today that FIU is not that hard to get in.</p>
<p>Like 78% acceptance rate…</p>
<p>you will get into one of the ivies </p>
<p>you live on long island or in westchester</p>
<p>what does that mean??
no i dont live there.
was that your question?</p>
<p>well, do you want a city school, rural school, campus school, commuter school?</p>
<p>Big or small?</p>
<p>Conservative or liberal?</p>
<p>Big fish in little pond (JMU, probs) or little fish in big pond (ivies)?</p>
<p>little fish in big pond,
big,
city,
not really sure about cons. or lib.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>well, maybe, if you want big…then no ivies, so maybe Georgetown or UVA?</p>
<p>thanks packer!
i mean, the party scene.
i was not thinking of like 5000+ students.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>I would advise looking at Georgetown, Fordham, and Brandeis judging solely from your list. And I would also say apply to the ivies that you’re interested in - it doesn’t hurt, and colleges are such a crapshoot anyway that who really knows?</p>
<p>I know these aren’t on your list, but have you thought about Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, U Chicago or American/GW? All are good schools which would seem to fit your criteria.</p>
<p>What do you mean by outstanding ECs?</p>
<p>Your list really runs the gamut–which schools do you like?</p>
<p>Leadeship achievements; national level.</p>
