<p>My reaches:
MIT
Stanford
UCLA
Georgetown
U of Chicago
UPenn
Brown
Cornell</p>
<p>As of this point, I'm going for linguistics. If I wind up liking poli sci and econ after some courses this summer, I might almost completely revamp my list for IR.</p>
<p>Sungchul: woohoo linguistics! :D Our lists seem pretty similar, though I eliminated Georgetown for its religious affiliation and never considered Brown.</p>
<p>OBrienUM97: it bugs me too when people put UMich or Berkeley as their safety. It's like, NO, they're top schools, not unknown little state schools...</p>
<p>Virginia

<p>list has changed tremedously over last few months...
in no particular order besides 1st one...</p>
<p>UNC-Chapel Hill (my family is seriously considering moving to NC over the summer so that we qualify as in-state-any thoughts on this?) is changing HS for senior year worth it?
UMich
Emory
Elon
Davidson
Northwestern
UCI-saftey, instate---i really dont want to go here...i live right next door :]
UCB
Wheaton
UNCA
Illinois Wesleyan
Purdue
Penn State
UVA

<p>Moving all the way from Irvine, CA to Chapel Hill JUST so you can be considerd in-state?
Definately NOT worth it, IMO.</p>

<p>still need to narrow it down..</p>
<p>also maybe pepperdine..if only their Financial aid didnt suck</p>
<p>i know...but there's a BIG difference b/w instate and oos fees. Its double!!! and its not just for UNC, but also for Davidson, Elon, and others. To add to reasons why...my parents are moving to where ever I go anyways...so why not move now? u see? Living in Cali is expensive too...esp. places like irvine </p>
<p>...o btw, i forgot VANDY!</p>
<p>j-dom, unless you are so in love with UNC that you wouldn't be able to live if you went to school anywhere else, I wouldn't move to North Carolina from Cali. But that's just me.</p>
<p>true, i agree. but the most important factor for my family right now is COST. We cant afford the 40+ tuition for Umich and other schools for example. Esp since I want to go to med school after. THATS why we are REALLY considering moving, we would save A LOT!! with the in-state tuition. Its not that I can only see myself in NC. But it seems like to the best place to make the move...good schools, great cities, etc. Dont you think?</p>
<p>Why don't you go to a UC school as an in-state student?</p>
<p>we're definitely considering that too. but my parents dont want to live in cali any longer...they are more east-coast people. They want the HUGE houses with great big gardens and stuff (they have their dreams like the rest of us :]). i want to be considerate to their needs as well...at least i feel like i should be. i dont mind east-coast at all...although i have really grown accustomed to SoCal life.</p>
<p>I think you should do what you feel most comfortable with. If you feel more comfortable staying in Cali (I know I would), then stay in Cali. Your parents can put their East Coast dream on hold for 4 more years, can't they?</p>
<p>i most definitely would feel more comfortable staying here. hopefully they'll get the hint that i would reather stay. i dont want to force it on them though. but if they feel like it would be a better idea to move, i guess i dont have a choice. </p>
<p>thanks for the feedback btw, yankee. good luck on your college search!</p>
<p>Good luck, yourself!</p>
