<p>I was just wondering what is everyone's first choice school at this point in the process? No more than 2 tied for first. </p>
<p>Brown
Case Western</p>
<p>okay your turn:</p>
<p>Stanford!!!</p>
<p>Duke</p>
<p>But realistically, my first choices are Chicago and UNC Chapel-Hill (in-state, so the latter is almost a safety for me as well)</p>
<p><em>pouts</em> why do some states get awesome public schools and the rest of us get screwed over</p>
<p>Well, Wisconsin and Michigan are two schools that don't have nearly as much of a difference between the standards for OOS and in-state students. Carolina is brutal to OOS students, more selective percentage-wise than Berk is to OOS students.</p>
<p>heh, no freakn' clue. I don't think I'll really be able to go anywhere I want to go - my GPA is going to kill me - no matter what I do, the highest I can get it before I graduate is 3.4. But my dad has already said I go to American U ( hahaha, never going to get in) or the local community college, Sinclair. CC, here I come fall 2006.</p>
<p>celebrian25...If you like Brown, you might be interested in Oberlin College in your home state. I'd say they're pretty similar politically and socially. It's private (and costly!) but provides a well rounded liberal arts education for the artsy, offbeat, creative person.</p>
<p>ah I am well aware of the lovely oberlin. I wish the publics were better mostly. I think ohio has quite a few good privates, especially LACs</p>
<p>OMG oneiros lykos8...the highest GPA I can get by the end of senior year is also a 3.4 because I screwed up in 11th grade (see: "What are my chances ANYWHERE?!" thread). Montgomery County CC is in the stars for me, lol :)
I was just like you this time last year--I had no idea where I wanted to go and my parents were prodding me to start looking!</p>
<p>does anyone else think cc is getting more non-elite friendly? My gpa is relatively high, but that's because my school is crap (read: my rank is going to kill me).</p>
<p>Cornell. not sure if I can get in, but giving it a shot. who knows?</p>
<p>Sure CC is getting more non-elite friendly. I thought I would get completely shot down when I posted my stats (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=31412%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=31412</a>) , but actually, everyone who responded was really warm and encouraging. Someone even said my 1350 SAT was pretty high, even though it's probably like the 2nd %ile at CC. And I've seen more and more people with sub-1400 scores, which is heartening.</p>
<p>My first choice at this point is definitely Dartmouth. However, I doubt I'll get in so my second choices are Weselyan, Haverford, Middlebury, and like 10 other schools. Yeahh</p>
<p>MIT, not that i'd get in.</p>
<p>CC is definitely getting more non-elite friendly.</p>
<p>My top choice is Clemson, I think. Maybe Auburn. </p>
<p>But I'll be attending the school that gives me the most aid/scholarships, which will likely be KU.</p>
<p>Oh, and I messed up so badly that it may or may not be possible for me to hit a 3.0 weighted when I graduate.</p>
<p>I've learned the hard way that there's more to life than selective colleges.</p>
<p>Northwestern ... i think (:-P)</p>
<p>Oh, thank you people who did in fact mess up at one point of your high school career!!! I bow down.</p>
<p>Heck, I messed up a thousand times.</p>
<p>I think it might be the universe's little way of keeping me at KU so that I can get football tickets when Mangino finishes pulling the program out of the gutter. Blue wings rising, donchaknow.</p>
<p>haha, and my universe is definitely still spinning, where it will point, no one knows!</p>
