How many schools do you usually apply to?

<p>^^^Extremely hard to get into. Especially Harvey Mudd.</p>

<p>I think their average for the SAT II Math was 790.</p>

62

<p>

</p>

<p>Well that’s not good.</p>

<p>I think that most students apply to around seven schools.</p>

63

<p>^It’s also probably the type of students they’re looking for and the “fit”. Some people clearly belong in an LAC environment and others don’t.</p>

64

<p>^For example??</p>

65

<p>:/ I would have been perfect for an LAC (Hamilton was my top choice) but I’m going to Brown instead. Lammmmmeeeee</p>

<p>Nice post by M’s Mom that explains the difference.</p>

67

<p>^Thanks for the description.</p>

<p>That seems appealing.</p>

68

<p>Yeah that’s why I really want to get into Harvey Mudd, especially because they don’t have a graduate division, so professors can really focus in on the undergrads. Plus I like that they’re officially a LAC school, so I can take some courses outside of the math/science curricula that interests me.</p>

69

<p>^Not to mention you can also simultaneously take courses at all the other four Claremont colleges.</p>

70

<p>

You can do that at almost any school in the US.</p>

71

<p>but they’re required at Harvey Mudd, apart from the GenEd requirements</p>

72

<p>

If you want to take something anyway, does it need to be required?</p>
