Got rejected by Stanford EA--but life goes on! Does this list seem good?

Have you looked at any of the state flagships? There are many excellent ones out there (UMich, UW-Madison, UIUC, UT-Austin, UMN-TC etc.) which would be good safeties for you. Look at their honors colleges in particular.

Thanks for the kind words and help everyone. I feel much better now and will look into these schools!
:smiley: thanks again :smiley:

As for LACs, I have no interest in attending a small school so no, but thanks so much for taking your time to reply.

Wish you all good luck!

Definitely need more safeties. I see USC, Rochester, and Emory as potential matches (but tough to say considering USC has a sub 20 acceptance rate). The rest on your list are absolute reaches.

Admitted class has a 2340 75th percentile most likely (M+V = 1560, Admitted Writing ~ 780 to 790 based on enrolled stats)

Penn admitted class = 2370 75th percentile.

The rest are around the above ranges for the 75th as well.
