<p>I’m assuming that you’re a junior, like me. I have a similar profile to yours. </p>
<p>This is my concern when looking for match schools:</p>
<p>The schools where I fall at or above the 50th percentile tend to have acceptance rates below 20%. I have been told that a school with a twenty, or even fifteen, percent acceptance rate isn’t a “match” for anyone. They’re more like rolls of the dice. This makes me nervous.</p>
<p>That being said, have you looked at really strong LACs like Middlebury, Amherst, or Williams? U Chicago really seems to encourage (although I really have no way to know for sure) learning things for the sake of learning things, if that appeals to you. But once again, while your stats may match you to most of those schools, I’m still anxious about regarding any school that is that selective as a match.</p>
<p>Does your school have Naviance? I have found it to be a very valuable tool in the college search process.</p>
