<p>Triple major? Do you really want to spend 6+ years in undergrad? Why not major in liberal arts and take the three majors as minors so that you can finish grad school before you're 30...</p>

<p>Brandeis = Safe Match
Brown = Reach
Carnegie Mellon University = Match
Grinnell = Safe Match
Haverford = Match
Oberlin = Safety
Pomona = Reach
Rice = Match
Stanford = Bigger Reach
Tufts = Safe Match
Rochester = Safety
Yale = Biggest Reach</p>

<p>I actually kind-of assume that I'll be in undergrad for 5 yrs... At a lot of the schools (i think) that I can enter as a sophomore or so (provided that I make 5s on all my APs) and I will most likely take classes over the summer... I think it will be fun!</p>

<p>Heavenwood, I completely disagree with your evaluation. That said:</p>

<p>Brandeis: Match
Brown: High Reach
CMU: Reach
Grinnell: High Match
Haverford: High Match
Oberlin: High Match
Pomona: High Reach
Rice: Reach
Stanford: High, High Reach
Tufts: High Match
Rochester: Safety
Yale: High, High Reach</p>
