<p>sapphire07's post reminded me of another college I'm considering: Colgate. Because, you know, my list isn't long enough already... ;)</p>
<p>I've started looking at colleges, but I have no idea as to what I am doing. I have already visitted places and eliminated some options I considered when applying, but right now my list has about 20 colleges? It looks something like this. The ones I've visitted I've bolded.</p>
<p>Stretch Schools:</p>
<p>Brown
Columbia
Northwestern
Princeton
Washington University in St. Louis
Yale</p>
<p>Likelies (but still a challenge!)</p>
<p>College of William and Mary
George Washington
Middlebury College
NYU
UNC-CH
UCLA
USC</p>
<p>Local Safeties</p>
<p>UC Irvine
UC San Diego
UC Santa Cruz </p>
<p>National Safeties</p>
<p>Boston University
University of Wisconsin at Madison
Sarah Lawrence (I'm not sure if it's really a safety...but I would think so because my teachers would give good recs since I'm generally fine in class!)
Syracuse</p>
<p>So yeah, there are about 20 schools that I'm considering...there are just too many options in the world!</p>
<p>Of the ones I visitted, my top choice would definitely be WashU. Might consider doing an early decision there, but I'd want to consider all my options first, because doing Yale single choice early action doesn't sound bad (though I probably wouldn't get in)</p>
<p>I'm still in the beginning stages, but I've looked into:</p>
<p>Amherst College (my top)
Boston U
Middlebury U
Lewis & Clark U
Whitman College
Lehigh U
U of Denver (local - safety)
Colorado College (local - safety)
Knox College
Kenyon College
George Washington
Occidental
and a few others that I can't really think of at the moment...</p>
<p>lil_killer129, what do you plan to major in? I was considering University of Minnesota - Twin Cities as a safety too. I wrote an English paper on it. xDD</p>
<p>First Choice:
-NYU Stern ED</p>
<p>Super Reach
-PENN Wharton
-Columbia
-Northwestern University
-Brown
-Swarthmore College</p>
<p>Reach:
-University of Chicago
-Washington University in St. Louis
-Georgetown University/McDonough
-Carnegie Mellon/Tepper
-NYU Stern ED
-University of Michigan/Ross
-UVA/McIntire</p>
<p>Match/lower reach:
-University of Notre Dame
-American University
-Boston College</p>
<p>Safe Match/Safety:
-Boston University
-George Washington University
-UC Davis
-Catholic University</p>
<p>Safety:
-University of Maryland
-Arizona State University/Business
-Bentley College
-Babson College
-Northeastern University</p>
<p>I have to sift through every college in America and sift through them so I can add/take off colleges.</p>
<p>If I don't get into Stern ED, then I'll go to Bentley or Northeastern and transfer to Brown. Or, with a little bit of luck, and a truckload of money, Wharton.</p>
<p>Jeez...and I thought my list was long!</p>
<p>Places i want to write me, but i'd apply anyway:
NYU(top choice)
Northwestern</p>
<p>Places that look good:
Columbia
UCLA (didn't write me, i don't want to go there, but i'll apply)</p>
<p>Places that are on the map:
Howard( i'm a legacy)</p>
<p>Letters I'd consider(places that don't offer my major not included):
FSU(lost my letter)
LIU
Northeastern</p>

U of Nevada - Reno: Want to avoid applying here if I can; not anywhere close to somwhere I want to go, but my parents like it.</p>
