<p>Top Choices: Brown and Wesleyan
Other Stuff: UM-CP (instate), Bates, Oberlin, Northeastern, and Bennington.</p>
<p>romanigypsyeyes- how can you like Brown and UChicago? No core vs. super core? Crazy stuff.</p>
<p>^^ Lol, yes as weird as it sounds... but I really want to go to Brown for Egyptology (as it is the only one in the nation). But, if not, UChicago has the best NEC program in the country and I really like the campus and the professors and students I met.</p>
<p>Well maybe the core isn't as important to her? Maybe she likes the feel to both schools? I don't know... Personally, I don't have a strong opinion on core. I understand that not having a core allows more freedom in choice, but I also believe in a more general education, and know that I would personally choose a variety of classes. </p>
<p>That said, princessbell, if you were to consider outside of the area, I would suggest Reed as well.</p>
<p>^^ Yeah. If I have a core, that's fine. I'd rather not because I like the freedom of choosing more classes I want but I can see the bright side either way.</p>
<p>Top Choices: Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst</p>
<p>Others: Middlebury, UConn, others</p>

I'll probably apply to UHawaii as my uber safety, although I'd probably commit suicide if I only got into UH =[ lol jk</p>
<p>I don't really know yet tbh. That's just my "preliminary" list. I'm still searching, but I really have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.</p>
<p>In order of preference:
Harvard
Princeton
Yale
UPenn
Dartmouth

<p>haha yeah, I have a "preliminary" list too. It's kind of long and still pretty varied (but I'd love to go to just about any of them... okay RPI may be a stretch) but I'm probably just be narrowing it down with minimal changes. I keep feeling like there's a big jump between all the reach schools, and then the would-be safeties if I were in-state and RPI. </p>
<p>Caltech
Dartmouth
Harvey Mudd
MIT
Princeton
RPI
Stanford
Swarthmore

My list is really going to depend on how my junior year goes and how I do on the SATs.</p>

Carnegie Mellon
Johns Hopkins (legacy)</p>

<p>But would you qualify for FA at any of the schools? Or merit awards?</p>
