<p>I think you got it about right and would recommend applying ED to Brown. Except, UVA is DEFINITELY not a safety for anybody, and should be a target.</p>
<p>its never useless to apply, no one has a good chance to brown
youe lit looks solid might consider adding another safety school and maybe something like case western reserve</p>
<p>Wesleyan and Middlebury are such small schools with so few slots that even with your stats you have to consider them reaches. They turn away many many qualified students. </p>
<p>I don’t know much about McGill or UVa, but unless you’d be happy going to your safety school, you ought to add several lower match schools that are not in the top 20. </p>
<p>You look like a very strong candidate and you may very well get into one of these schools, but it’s very tough out there.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t consider McGill to be target. It’s practically the Ivy of Canada. Based on your stats, Case Western Reserve in Cleveland could be considered as safety school for you. You have a good reach list, and I would even go as far as to ask, why not apply to any of the trifectas (Harvard, Yale, Princeton)? But we don’t know what these schools want for sure. For example there’s a girl from my school who had a 3.0 GPA (not the greatest test scores either), but due to her dedication to the clarinet, she was accepted at Harvard. So really you never know. On the other hand, there are ppl. with perfect test scores, GPAs, and extra cirriculars who get rejected. So take a shot and see where it may lead you (but don’t get too frisky because some schools have an application cap).</p>
<p>Am I applying to too few schools?
I’m the kind of person who likes to have a focuses list so I can concentrate on just the schools I REALLY care about.</p>
<p>I have already accepted the fact that I’m not getting into Brown but I’m gonna give it a shot regardless.
I like Gtown a lot. I’m probably taking Middlebury off my list. I like to be near civilization. </p>
<p>I only put target for Wesleyan because I am above their “median numbers” stats wise
plus its one of the bigger LACs </p>
<p>My stats also align themselves perfectly with McGill, hence the target.</p>
<p>Understandable. Coincidentally our reach schools are exactly the same, nonetheless McGill runs on the same system as Oxford. McGill doesn’t take teacher recommendations and extracirrculars are not truly considered in the acceptance process (unlike here in the US); therefore academics is the only part they take into consideration, so they have to be in tip-top form, basically 98th percentile, not just for standardized test scores, but also letter grades (I guess in Canda they go by percentile rather than letters). I believe you’re a candidate, but I’m just giving you a heads-up.</p>
<p>I guess that is what I resent about McGill because I think I have pretty strng leadership, ecs, comm service ,etc and that is not taken into consideration. its like im just a number. i guess its a reach as well.</p>
<p>do u reccomend any other schools to add to my list
i want to be an english major</p>
<p>Hmmm, I’d look extensively into liberal arts colleges as well if you’re planning to major in english, ex. Amherst College in MA, or Swathmore College in PA (I see you’ve included Middlebury).</p>
