Help me make a college list.

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I need some good ideas for Reaches, Matches, and Safeties for schools that are strong in Biology. I don't want to get too much into my stats, but I live in MD and my counselor says that Tufts is a match and Vandy is a safety (legacy)--this should give you some idea of where I stand. Additionally, I have a lot of research experience (800 hours working in labs) and a 2200 SAT.</p>

<p>Can you guys help me make a good list of Reaches/Matches/Safeties? My counselor said applying to 10 schools would be good.
So far, my list looks like this:</p>

<p>MIT (Sibling legacy)
University of Chicago
Haverford
University of Pennsylvania
Duke University
Brown University
University of Rochester
Bowdoin College
Northwestern University
Tufts University
Colby College
Vanderbilt (legacy)
Williams
Boston University
University of Virginia
College of William and Mary
Swarthmore
Amherst
Emory
Johns Hopkins University (Sibling legacy)
Washington University in St. Louis
University of Michigan
Cornell</p>

<p>I also forgot to mention that research is important to me. What schools do you recommend I remove, and are there any I should add? I plan to have 7 reaches, 2 matches, and 1 safety.</p>

<p>If you're interested in undergraduate research, Penn has a great resource in its Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships (Center</a> for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships)</p>

<p>Penn is a reach but a totally sweet one ;)</p>
