Wo-hoo- 2016 common app is open! I’m loving the essay questions I’ve been reading so far. My favorite is probably one of Brandeis’: “There is a ticket in your hand. Where are you going?”.
I’m 86.4 percent sure this is my final list. Papa finally relented in regards to Harvard. I don’t think I would have been happy there even if my some miracle/terrible mistake I would have gotten in. Thanks for coming along for the ride, anyone who’s still sticking with me! I added Smith as another low match; you never know. From least to most selective, from a purely percentage-wise perspective:
-Smith (I’m a fan of the consortium and I liked it much more than MoHo)
-Brandeis
-Oberlin
-Carleton
-Vassar
-Colorado
-Tufts (ED)
-Bowdoin (ED II? Probably, at this point)
-Amherst
-Brown
-Chicago (at this point they’re included mainly because their essays are bucketloads of fun to write; there’s virtually zero chance I’ll be admitted here).
