<p>I'm only a sophomore but I'm looking toward the school I want to apply to. </p>
<p>I'm looking for math, physics, or possibly pre-law. </p>
<p>Currently, on my list:</p>
<p>UNC-CH (instate legacy) Safety
Duke (Legacy) mid-High Match
MIT -Reach
Yale-Reach
Princeton-Reach
Harvard-Reach </p>
<p>I've heard good things about U Chicago...and I believe CIT/Stanford are too far away to apply to. I'm also not sure on how many schools to apply to. </p>
<p>What's inbetween Duke and HYPM?</p>
<p>Definitely look at Chicago for math and physics.</p>
<p>It's pretty hard to start doing this without SAT/ACT scores. </p>
<p>By the way, you might want to consider UNC-CH as more than a safety. For in-state tuition, it's one of the best deals in the country.</p>
<p>I'm just really think of where I'd like to apply. Like a dream list--- I can then work from there. I'm not really looking for any more reaches, the reaches I've chosen aren't matches for anyone. I can't think of any more safeties that meet the actually definition of safety. I think that 1 very good safety is enough, but I will reevaluate after I take the SAT next year--I will be disappointed with anything less than a 2100. </p>
<p>UNC-CH meets the definition of a safety--it is a college that will very likely accept me with some FA and I would be very happy to attend.</p>
<p>Before I get yelled at for considering UNC-CH a safety without SAT scores and only as a rising sophomore... I'm a quadruple legacy and directly related to the first student (Hinton James). When my relatives applied, they made a big deal about this. Besides, I only personally know 1/20+ people who've been rejected, let's just say that he was not academically inclined.</p>
<p>Back to my point though, what are some colleges that you would recommend for Science/Math that have good humanities programs, aren't midwest or west coast, and that aren't very small. (Although I've also heard good things about Olin college)
I'm just exploring my options.</p>
<p>As you mentioned, Olin is great (although small) because, although very difficult to get into, you don't have to pay a cent for the entire education. It is, however, an engineering school.</p>
<p>You ask what is between Duke and HPYS. The answer is, not much: the rest of the Ivies and a few other schools.</p>
<p>Others to look at would be Vanderbilt, Rice, Emory, Hopkins, and Carnegie Mellon.</p>
<p>I won't flame you for considering UNC safe, you know what your connections are. I will say in my experience it's unusual for legacies with a clear shot to apply for aid. The hook is usually that they are expecting your family to give them money.</p>
