<p>I'm applying to Johns Hopkins (ED?), University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and UT Austin (safety I'm top 8% and is financially a safety, also)</p>

<p>Besides my two schools that seem to be reaches, I need some matches. Not really into liberal arts colleges, but also not into huge schools like UT Austin (only going here if I have too)</p>

<p>Applying ED to Johns Hopkins does seem to help a little, so that might be a good plan if you’re sure. 1380-1400 would be a little more comfortable. Maybe University of Rochester, Carnegie Mellon. Colgate is a possibility and a bigger than an LAC.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. Hopkins is pretty much my dream school, so I figured I would apply early decision. I’m retaking the October SAT and like you said I’m going to aim for 1400+ I’ll be sure to look into those schools also, thanks!</p>
