<p>some schools i have in mind are Bard, Wesleyan and Vassar... possibly Brandeis, skidmore... any ideas of others, or if these are matches??? suggestions?? CHANCES!? frustrated Junior alert, please comment!! :)</p>

2

<p>Brandeis, Skidmore, Bard yes
Vassar most probably
Wesleyan maybe. BRING UP THE GRADES!</p>

3

<p>thanks zephyr.
reaches... are any of these reaches? are any safeties? what should be my reach? would Amherst be ridiculous (i toured there and fell in love)?</p>

4

<p>Wesleyan meaning Southern Wesleyan University? Wow, uh... I thought from the Hebrew you might be Jewish, SWU is a VERY christian school in fact they <em>require</em> you to attend church services if I'm not mistaken. But... If you want to go there you can get in!</p>

5

<p>um no. Wesleyan University in Connecticut. v. competitive in terms of liberal arts, i wonder if i have a shot at all. :) damnit why are there so many other, crappier versions of Wesleyan that seem to confuse everyone?</p>

6

<p>doesn't anyone care about the liberal arts schools?? this board is so Ivy/ big 10!</p>
