<p>Yeah, that list sounds good but man is it long. Because you've been awarded by Caltech, applying EA would perhaps give you an edge, as that would be showing consistency etc. etc. (plus I'm biased basically growing up near the campus & on the west coast... boo MIT! lol)</p>

<p>But just for kicks, I wills say that your list is very limited to the coasts (besides NU, and Chicago almost counts as the coasts for its popularity) and there are tons of great schools in the middle states that would allow you maybe more than the more strait-laced/time-consuming schools to involve yourself in cultural and international things, which you seem to be interested.</p>

<p>But wow, I am glad I'm not applying for a year to any of those schools... my competition would flatten me :D</p>

<p>i think i just prefer the coasts, mainly the east because i'm from ny.</p>
