Final List?

[teanuh]

<p>My teacher says my recs are ready, and I assume that means I should give him the envelopes with the schools! Also, my transcript request forms are due in 2 weeks and I'm still not sure about my list. Help!</p>

<p>I have 14 fee waivers right now, so I need help eliminating a school or two. :O (carleton and casewestern are free.. so other than those two!) </p>

<p>Reaches :
Brown, Cornell, Northwestern, Duke, Rice, Vassar, Carleton, WUSTL, Pomona (??), JHU (??), Dartmouth (??) </p>

<p>Matches/Safeties :
Case Western, UPitt, Brandeis, Northeastern (??) SUNY Bing/stony/geneseo (maybe only 2/3) </p>

<p>Stats:
Asian Female, NY. 770CR/700M/730W (2200), trying for 34+ on ACT!
94.4 avg, school does not rank. Competitive magnet school.. acceptance rate was ~2% the year I got in.
Solid ECs : Lots of volunteering, music, church, school clubs.
Major : biochemistry/neuroscience.
First generation ; low income. </p>

<p>I don't know how to eliminate. I feel like I need to apply to each school because I'll be sad if I don't and regret it later on. Any advice would be appreciated!</p>

<p>I know I'm pretty reach heavy, but I'd rather aim high. I would be happy at my matches/safeties.</p>

<p>I don’t really think you need Northeastern with a 1470 and the other safeties that you have. Keep JHU for biochemistry. Look at some threads that compare Vassar, Carlton and Pomona and maybe eliminate one of those?</p>

<p>Oh okay, well that’s why I had double question marks next to it.
Vassar and pomona then… carleton is free app so might as well! I couldn’t really find many threads comparing the two… but I think I’m leaning towards Pomona… the claremont colleges seem really interesting. :]</p>
