<p>Intparent, yeah, pretty much. It just means that I won’t stand out during admissions in terms of race or gender, but I figured it would be distasteful not to acknowledge the advantages I’ve had as well. And yes, price won’t be a factor, at least during the application process. I put Harvey Mudd into the less selective group just because of the 20% admission rate. All of the schools on my list are difficult to get into, which is why I’m here.</p>
<p>And woogz, thanks, I’ll look into those two.</p>
<p>Another question, more along the lines of “rate my chances.” Would it be foolish to end up with a list along the lines of the one I provided. The advantage as I see it is that I would be happy at any of them, so I would only need to get into one. Worst-case, I figure I could get into UW without direct admission to the computer science department, which would still be preferable to most schools that I might include as safeties. Thoughts anyone?</p>
