<p>Chance for (ready? this list is long):
Brown University
Tufts University
Emory University
Northwestern University
University of Chicago
University of Wisconsin-Madison
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Vanderbilt
Georgetown University
Wellesley College</p>

<p>I know, I know...I need safeties.</p>

<p>Would anybody like to suggest some colleges that have a strong English/Film/International Business/Law field?</p>

2

<p>USC has strong film,business,law programs, however, I think the majority of those are grad. schools, I might be wrong though. the only one I would say you are pretty sure to get into are NW and, I might be pushing it, but Georgetown</p>

<p>the only one I would say you are pretty sure to get into are NW and, I might be pushing it, but Georgetown.</p>

4

<p>Northwestern? Are you serious?
Can I ask why? Sorry, I've never thought anybody would be "pretty sure" I would get into Northwestern.</p>

6

<p>Brown is a reach for anyone, so no one can really say. Sure you have a good chance, but there is definitely no guarantee. Most of those other schools are slight reaches or high matches. So yes, you do need safeties.</p>

7

<p>Your don't need safeties, Illinois and Wisconsin are safe. You have solid grades and your ACT sounds decent, although Im not sure what that translates to for the SAT (I know 34 ACT is very good). Your competitive for all of those schools, but Gtown, Nwestern, Chicago, and Brown are reaches.</p>

8

<p>your gender, it's...interesting.</p>

<p>Anyways, Brown seems like the hardest school in your list, so try applying early there if u can. You have a really good class rank/GPA, and your activities might be a little "average," but there is some diversity there. Overall, you have a decent chance at those schools. If that congressman rec. is any good, then that will help alot.</p>

<p>So basically right now we're looking at </p>

<p>Brown University--reach
Tufts University
Emory University
Northwestern University--reach
University of Chicago--reach
University of Wisconsin-Madison---safety
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign--safety
Vanderbilt
Georgetown University--reach
Wellesley College</p>

<p>What about all the other colleges xD?</p>

<p>bump 10 char</p>

Emory University- slight reach
Northwestern University--reach
University of Chicago--reach
University of Wisconsin-Madison---safety
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign--safety
Vanderbilt- slight reach

<p>Okay, total error there (I'm surprised nobody caught it earlier)</p>

<p>So. Who wants a brief history lesson (of moi)</p>

<p>xxInkstainsxx is typically my username for other sites >.< I really can't remember why I put xxInkxx for CC.</p>

<p>Maybe it's because CC is special? Haha, yea...keep thinking that.</p>

<p>Anyway.</p>

<p>Sorry.</p>

<p>But if you want to continue thinking my actual name is xxInkstainsxx, be my guest.</p>
