<p>What the title says.. Lol. And I'm interested in PRIVATE universities. These are schools that I fell in love with BUT this was before I realized how difficult college admission is.
So here it goes: Emory, Wellesley, Cornell, Northwestern, USC, BU, NYU... sorry...</p>
<p>I think I might apply to a couple of them as "dream schools" but I now need help determining some match and safety schools.</p>
<p>I'd like to go to the east coast mainly because I want to live somewhere where there's a change of seasons instead of being always cold or always sunny</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
GPA - 3.82 W, around 3.5 UW
(lower than it could have been because of all Honors/AP classes...hence many B's and
two C's WHICH rose to an A and a B second semester)</p>
<p>SAT Reasoning - 2280 Superscored</p>
<p>SAT subject - MATH IIC 800; Literature 700; Japanese 780; Biology 700</p>
<p>Activities - School band 4 years; church band 4 years; continued piano and viola without lessons; art ...hmm, What a typical Asian.</p>
<p>Awards/Recognition - National Merit Commended student; 3 art contests (1 county, 1 regional, 1 national); won 2 music competition; 2 medals from a national foreign language exam.</p>
<p>Volunteer work - volunteered at an orphanage in japan during summer vacation; piano accompaniment for a small performance group made by a family friend; church band every Sunday</p>
<p>Leadership - board member of a club; served as a principle viola player for one year</p>
<p>Please feel free to PM me if you need to know anything else.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about applying to about 10-12 schools, but feel free to tell me one or two schools that might be a good match/safety for me, thanks ;)</p>
