<p>Brown and Columbia can be possibilities if you live your life everyday thinking it and working towards meeting your goals. I think you can make it whatever you want, as long as you show strong interest, etc. You seem like a solid candidate, but I’m not to sure on the ECs.</p>
<p>UVa is not a safety for anyone.</p>
<p>^
How do you know that?</p>
<p>whats wrong with my ECs?</p>
<p>i think its my grades that screw me</p>
<p>UVA is not a safety for anyone. especially out of state,
i’d say its a match to a low reach.</p>
<p>Brown is a reach for you, but you have a chance. You should apply if you are interested.</p>
<p>haha brown or bust- i have the same attitude as you</p>
<p>maybe if my sat score improves this time around hopefully that may boost my chances a little</p>
<p>does an interview count for a lot? hopefully my recs and essays can push me over the top into the much shorter acceptance pile! :)</p>
<p>Second Swarthmore and strongly suggest you look at Kenyon, great English department and becoming more well know everyday.</p>
<p>Definitely do ED for Brown if it’s where you really want to go.</p>
<p>And don’t worry about your SAT too much, as my math score was slightly lower than yours, but I was still accepted ED with similar grades and seemingly equivalent ECs to you.</p>
<p>this sounds terrible but im attracted to “prestigious” schools- so feel free to call me out on my superficiality
ive never really heard about kenyon</p>
<p>i think swarthmores out of my reach…my friend goes there and said its really competitive
i like Brown’s somewhat laid back casualness
at least thats the sense I got from visiting</p>
<p>You’re qualified for any school. I think you should expand the number of schools you’re applying to, specifically reaches and targets. If you can bring your Math/CR score higher, then you have a good chance at many schools</p>
<p>Also, don’t listen to those people who said your ECs were sketch. They’re pretty damn good and you should just focus on getting your grades as high as possible</p>
<p>what schools do u reccomend?
its hard for me to distinguish target/reach
and im sort of picky prestige and geography wise</p>
<p>Put one in for Yale, try some of the top LACs, then maybe some good LACs like Claremont McKenna or Pomona. Its up to you, but do some research first</p>
<p>Some other schools to consider: Tufts, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Duke, Bowdoin.</p>
<p>Isn’t duke way out of my reach, especially if Brown is a big reach for me</p>
