College Search & Selection
1

<p>I just got a college counselor and he gave me a list to start with, and I cut it down to this. Does this sound any good given my stats? It's kind of different than my original list but I changed my mind about some things that I want.</p>

<p>Reach: Yale, Dartmouth, UPenn
Match: Duke, Amherst, Colgate, Vanderbilt
Low Match: Connecticut College, Villanova
Safety: Gettysburg, Trinity, UMass Amherst</p>

<p>Stats:
SATS--Math: 740; CR: 770; Writing: 760
SAT IIs--Math I: 730; US History: 740; Bio: 760
GPA: 3.7 unweighted
Good ecs, competitive new england school</p>

<p>Sound good?</p>

<p>Also which do you think care the most about visiting, since I probably won't get a chance to visit them all</p>

<p>I can't commit on your chances or list, but from experience with myself and friends I have noticed that visits are best for LACs, where fewer students are admitted, so visiting and especially show an interest. At the ivy's a visist won't help but at a smaller, selective school they love to see students showing interest.</p>

<p>I think it's pretty hard for anyone to call Amherst a match school at this point... it seems to be getting more and more competitive each year, and the admissions are increasingly unpredictable. </p>

<p>Other than that, your list is decent.</p>
