<p>SAT (1st time): CR: 720 M: 710 W: 660
SAT (2nd time): CR: 690 M: 750 W: 640
ACT: 30 (not sending)
SAT IIs: Korean 800, Lit 630 - taking Bio E and Lit tomorrow
Asian female - moved here in 1st grade</p>

<p>Essay: Contrary to my SAT score, I'm a pretty good writer (won awards and stuff). Also, a yale professor edited my essay and she said my writing was excellent. I don't know how my writing score turned out that way. haha.
Ex curriculars: lots of music stuff, literary magazine, involved with theater, swimming for 2 years, other service clubs, etc.
Teacher recs: one should be amazing, and the other I have no idea.
Major: undecided between psychology, neuroscience, journalism, and music - want to go pre-law most likely</p>

<p>Here's my current list:
Brown
Carleton
Colby
Davidson (maybe)
Grinnell
Indiana University - Bloomington (accepted)
Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
Oberlin (TOP CHOICE)
Pomona
University of Chicago (ehh if I have time)
University of Rochester
Vanderbilt
Vassar
WashU
Wesleyan
Williams</p>

<p>Thinking about:
St. Olaf
Reed
Bowdoin
Bates</p>

<p>Criteria for schools:
- good music program, regardless of major/non-major
- liberal
- some amount of minority students</p>

<p>If I can get into at least one of those schools (besides IU), I am SET.</p>

<p>Just a note about Oberlin which you may already know about - If you're interested in music majoring (though you say you are leaning towards law) you will want to know that their conservatory is ridiculously selective and that unless you've trained to be a professional musician all your life, you probably won't get in.</p>

<p>Having said that, it has hundreds of concerts every year and plenty of opportunities for casual musicians to get together.</p>

3

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross very good LAC located only 1 hour from Boston. HC has strong pre-law program with terrific alumni network. HC is like a smaller version of Georgetown but easier to get into.</p>

4

<p>There are lots of opportunities at Oberlin for students not in the Conservatory to study music, including majoring in music in the College. See Oberlin</a> Blogs | Blog Entry: "Opportunities for College Musicians" .</p>

<p>ScaldingHotSoup: I am auditioning for the Con and there's about a 50% I will get in.</p>

<p>Are there other safety schools that meet what I am looking for in case I don't get into any of those listed?</p>
