<p>I am actually like really scared about college admissions. Sorry, I just need any advice or help or reassurance that I'll make it through or anything. Applying to:
Vassar
Haverford
Barnard
Oberlin
University of Pennsylvania
Brown??
Colgate
Bowdoin
CMU
A couple safeties</p>
<p>I have a 3010 SAT. I have a 3.92 GPA and 4.63 WGPA (out of 5). I have about 5 good extracurriculars and am in Orchestra. i do dance as well. I have a lot of community service (over 400 hours) will be a camp counselor next summer. I am just really scared because these schools are so tough and I haven't found the cure to cancer or anything. LOL. Any advice? Thank you!!</p>
<p>Oh! Sorry, no hahaha, I didn’t get a 3010 SAT. I got a 2310. Sorry.</p>
<p>Advise:
-visit.
-Research the schools thoroughly and think about preferences (size; location;
campus culture)</p>
<p>Can the same person equally like the prevailing campus cultures/ fellow students at Vassar/ Oberlin and Colgate/Penn? Would they be likely to be just as happy in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh as in Hamilton, NY? Can the same person be equally happy at a university the size of Penn as an LAC the size of Haverford?</p>
<p>-Once having visited some schools, thinking, and establishing preferences, revisit the list, prune as appropriate and think about other choices (Wesleyan?)</p>
<ul>
<li><p>add one or two schools to the list that, while certainly not safeties,are the next rung easier admits than the above.</p></li>
<li><p>Do everything you’re “supposed” to do. Interview if they offer it. visit everyplace you eventually apply to. Don’t take anything for granted.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Review finances with your parents and see if you can afford any of these schools.</p>
<p>Review finances. Find two safety schools (academically and financially) that you like and can see yourself happily attending.</p>
<p>Be open minded about the possibility of attending a public university.</p>
<p>Consider size–small, medium, or large. </p>
<p>Consider location–is it an isolated campus? Are there things to do off campus that are within a walkable distance?
How difficult will it be to travel to and from the campus to home during breaks?</p>
<p>Greek Life–how much of the weekend social life is built around greek life?</p>
<p>Cost—affordablility—Remember that it very common for tuition/room/board costs to go up each and every year.</p>
<p>wow your stats are really good. You have a good chance with brown and cmu and the others too! just write good essays, and you’ll be fine.</p>
