<p>My story: I would guess that I'm pretty unique. I'll graduate high school in five years (my first junior year was spent in the hospital for an intensive surgery along with an accompanying depression) and my grades that year obviously suffered. This year (my second junior year) I'm at a rigorous college prep school and maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Although I am not taking any APs this year, I will have 4 by the time I graduate. I also am in the midst of publishing a novel and have won some awards for the Scholastic Writing competition. Other than that, my ECs are pretty standard - 4 years of dance team, 2 of which I was the founder of; 2 years as a lead in the musical; 2 years on school newspaper, one of which I will be editor; 4 years of French club; 2 years of French Honor Society; and a slew of lesser activities. </p>

<p>So...is my list feasible? Are any schools impossibly out of my reach?
Thanks so much.</p>

<p>anyone...please?</p>

<p>Very difficult to comment without any test scores.</p>

4

<p>wow my list is almost the same as yours</p>

5

<p>I agree test scores would be helpful.</p>

<p>Your list looks good in that you obviously know what you want in a school. You might want to take out a reach of some sort and maybe take out a safety because 12 is just a lot of schools to have to apply to.</p>

<p>Act: 30
psat: 210</p>

<p>Very good list. Well-balanced: outside, but legit shot at numbers 1-5; fifty-fifty or better at 6-9, and most likely in at 10-12. Unless your tastes, preferences, or scores change, don't change this list.</p>

<p>Maybe one thing...</p>

<p>I know you seem like you're not the big public school type, but maybe, however, you'd want to apply to your state flagship school in case all else fails. For a high achiever in state, it's a 100% chance you'd get in (unless it's UMich or UVa or UC-B or UCLA), and you'd be paying very low tuition.</p>

8

<p>Would UW-Madison be a safety? Because I really don't think so.</p>

9

<p>I would say you are pretty safe for UW-Madison. Though I'm sure you'll also be fine for the bottom three schools on your list.</p>

<p>Thanks, all, for your help. I genuinely appreciate it. :)</p>

<p>You've got Vassar (especially if you're a guy) and Kenyon categorized too high on your list. Sarah Lawrence for sure (especially if you're a girl), and maybe Bard, too low. </p>

<p>Good luck. They're all great schools. Pick the ones you really like and make sure they know how you feel.</p>
