Ivies or other high-ranked schools

<p>First off, definately my mistake... I assumed that the only forums available for posting were in the forum links under top forums. So my apologies for those who have already read my other thread about admissions. I found this forum after I had already posted. If you have read any my other ones, don't bother with this one- it's mainly a copy/paste. It won't happen again, I swear.</p>

<p>On topic, I was curious if anyone could recommend any ivies and/or good schools (preferably east coast) that I could apply to with a reasonable chance of admission. I'd really like to know which applications I should focus on to increase upon any decent chance I may have. And this is all probably through RD.</p>

<p>Tufts and Holy Cross might be good choices. If interested in a school with good academics and social life try Holy Cross-1 hour from Boston.</p>
