List All The Schools You Have Applied To (Or Will Apply To) In Order Of Preference

Applying to College
1

<p>I thought this would be a somewhat cool idea to see how people value different schools. Price level/social life plays a big role with my middle picks. 4-8 are still pretty interchangeable for me at this point. I’ll go first:</p>

<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Johns Hopkins</li>
<li>UVA</li>
<li>Georgetown</li>
<li>Tufts</li>
<li>Boston College</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon</li>
<li>College of the Holy Cross</li>
<li>Colgate</li>
<li>Bucknell</li>
<li>College of New Jersey</li>
<li>Rutgers</li>
<li>Fairfield</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Williams</li>
<li>Oberlin</li>
<li>Case Western</li>
<li>Ohio State</li>
<li>University of Alabama </li>
</ol>

<p>1 and 2 are practically tied, as are 3 and 4.</p>

3

<p>chronicfuture - I'm curious as to why you put TCNJ above Rutgers? Just wondering.</p>

4

<p>University of Chicago
U of I-Urbana
Carleton
Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison
Washington Univ. in St Louis
Vanderbilt
Knox
Beloit
Indiana
Valparaiso
Purdue
Marquette
Miami in OH
Mizzou</p>

<ol>
<li>Brown University</li>
<li>University of Rochester</li>
<li>Emory University</li>
<li>Tulane University</li>
<li>Washington and Lee University</li>
<li>Drexel University</li>
<li>Furman University.</li>
<li>Louisiana State University</li>
<li>Louisiana Tech University</li>
</ol>

<p>However 3-5 are pretty interchangeable.</p>

<p>Holy ish, you applied to SO many schools!</p>

<p>Here's my list...I wish I had more reaches. I'm 6 for 6 already and I feel like I could've pushed myself to get into harder schools. My reaches aren't even really "real" reaches...I have very good chances of getting into them. Oh well. Whatever.</p>

<ol>
<li>University of Southern California</li>
<li>Villanova University</li>
<li>Indiana University - Bloomington</li>
<li>Clemson University</li>
<li>Loyola MD</li>
<li>Elon University</li>
<li>UMass Amherst</li>
</ol>

7

<p>I have TCNJ over Rutgers because I have heard that TCNJ has better academics. Although Rutger's name is much more known, I feel like TCNJ would be better prep for med school.</p>

8

<p>I haven't applied yet (because I'm only a junior) but I've visited a bunch of schools and have already come up with a pretty solid list of schools I'm most likely going to apply to:</p>

<ol>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>University of Chicago</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Middlebury</li>
<li>Bowdoin</li>
<li>Williams</li>
<li>Trinity</li>
<li>Tufts</li>
<li>Bates</li>
<li>UConn</li>
</ol>

9

<p>Junior in high school, but here is the list of schools I plan to apply to/ some I'm considering:</p>

<p>Michigan State University +
University of Michigan- Ann Arbor +
University of Wisconsin- Madison
Pennslyvania State University- State College
University of Minnesota- Twin Cities
( Must say I'm starting to get concern with Minnesota, it's barely a large green campus now... )
Cornell University
Purdue University</p>

<p>( Universities with + are the ones I'm most sure I'll apply to)</p>

10

<p>Junior in HS</p>

<p>MIT
Caltech
CMU
Stanford
Berkeley</p>

11

<ol>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>U Chicago</li>
<li>Berkeley</li>
<li>JHU</li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>UCD</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>UCSD</li>
</ol>

12

<ol>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Georgetown</li>
<li>Duke</li>
<li>Bowdoin</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Virginia</li>
<li>Harvard (applied just for fun)</li>
<li>Wisconsin</li>
<li>Rutgers</li>
</ol>

13

<ol>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>Columbia Engineering</li>
<li>Upenn-Engineering</li>
<li>Princeton University</li>
<li>Yale University</li>
<li>University of Chicago</li>
<li>Wellesley</li>
</ol>

<p>1 and 2 are tied, but I"m leaning a lot towards MIT. (Btw, I had been accepted into MIT early action, so I could afford to apply to nearly all of the reach schools).</p>

14

<p>you would ask why yale is ranked so low on my list compared to everybody else is that because I live 45 min away from yale and I find it creepy-ish that my parents could spontaneously drop in anytime. Not only that, MIT's math and science is better than Yale's.</p>

15

<ol>
<li>Yale, Brown, Stanford, UPenn, Swarthmore, Vassar, Vanderbilt</li>
<li>Bucknell and USC</li>
</ol>

<p>I placed most of the colleges I'm applying to as my first choice because depending on one first choice sometimes creates disappointment once results come around.</p>

16

<ol>
<li>Bates College</li>
<li>Boston College</li>
<li>Bryn Mawr College</li>
<li>Saint Joseph's (if I'm awarded a full tuition scholarship)</li>
<li>Fordham University</li>
<li>College of the Holy Cross</li>
<li>Barnard College</li>
<li>Villanova University</li>
<li>Smith College</li>
<li>Mount Holyoke College</li>
<li>American University</li>
<li>University of Scranton</li>
<li>Wilkes University</li>
</ol>

17

<ol>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li> Harvard/Yale (I don’t know. I kind of regret just going for prestige)</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon</li>
<li>McGill (it might be higher)</li>
<li>Georgia Tech</li>
<li>Johns Hopkins</li>
<li>South Carolina (full ride)</li>
<li>University of Chicago (should not have applied)</li>
<li>Boston U (I have no idea why I applied)</li>
</ol>

18

<ol>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>UChicago</li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>RPI</li>
<li>UConn</li>
</ol>

<p>LOL I thought I applied to too many schools with eight. Looking at how many some of you applied to makes me wish I applied to a few more!</p>

19

<ol>
<li>Miami (FL)</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>U Florida
T4. Georgia
T4. GA Tech</li>
<li>FSU</li>
<li>USC (SC)</li>
<li>Drexel</li>
<li>Winthrop* </li>
<li>Auburn*</li>
<li>Alabama</li>
<li>GA State</li>
</ol>

<p>*Winthrop over Auburn is assuming I get accepted to the Winthrop Honors Program. Otherwise flip it.</p>

20

<ol>
<li><p>Duke</p></li>
<li><p>Vanderbilt</p></li>
<li><p>Miami (OH)</p></li>
</ol>
