Other choices

<p>Let’s all hope it doesn’t come to this, but… if you don’t get in ED, where else are you applying?</p>

<p>For me, it’s Berkeley, Stanford, Penn, Harvard, Pomona, Swarthmore, Reed, and BU.</p>

<p>Haverford, Grinnell, Northwestern, Princeton</p>

<p>I'm pretty psyched about most of them actually, so if I don't get in ED, I won't be slitting my wrists or anything.</p>

<p>NYU | UPenn</p>

<p>Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, Wesleyan, Tufts, University of Delaware, University of Pittsburgh (in state applicant)</p>

<p>Are you guys waiting until after December 10 to apply? I'm going to apply to these places whether or not I'm accepted ED to Brown so I can compare financial aid packages (I can back out of Brown if I can show without a doubt that I cannot afford to pay to go if their package is bad, which would really suck...)</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm waiting. The couple hundred dollars worth of app fees is not something I want to surrender if I don't have to.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm waiting before applying, too. I don't really have a college list. :(</p>

<p>cbomo -- What about this from the Brown application? </p>

<ol>
<li>Your application is accepted
You must withdraw all Regular Admission applications to other colleges.</li>
</ol>

<p>It's an unwritten rule (actually, it's written down somewhere) that students can apply ED even if they won't necessarily be able to afford college, and that students can back out of an ED commitment if they feel that money will be an issue. This is true even though Brown is need-blind, because a student might have little demonstrated need on paper but would actually have a very hard time paying for college, and other schools might give non-need-based merit scholarships.</p>

<p>So you only have to withdraw other applications if you have not applied for financial aid?</p>

<p>Something like that. And it really doesn't even matter if I don't withdraw my apps, as long as I matriculate to Brown no legal conflicts ought to arise.</p>

<p>McGill, Tufts, Dartmouth, UPenn, BC, BU, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, U of Toronto</p>

<p>I know...a lot...but I'm waiting until the 10th to send.</p>

<p>I did send all the ACT and SAT scores though, just in case it would actually take them the whole 5 weeks to get it to the schools.</p>

<p>I sent SAT scores to tons of schools but I haven't even finished my other apps. I'm hoping I won't need to. </p>

<p>My top choices after Brown are Harvard (though I'd never get in there) and UPenn, then Tufts and some LACs like Vassar, Oberlin and Amherst. </p>

<p>I've applied to Rutgers (my state school- the ultimate safety, and if I don't get in anywhere else, at least I'll go to college pretty much for free) and Penn State Honors Program (another major safety).</p>

<p>Yale, Tufts, Haverford, UPenn, Columbia, Harvard, NYU, George Washington, Amherst, Northwestern, Georgetown, Duke, WashU-St. Louis</p>

<p>Yeah...crazy amounts of applications...
Which is why I REALLY hope I get in on December 10th...
Though not counting on it :-&lt;/p>

<p>why worry about sending them immediately? the deadline is the 1st for most of these schools, who is going to be looking at apps pre-deadline?
thx
GWB</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure i'm getting deferred on the 10th lol</p>

<p>so i will be reapplying to Brown, and also applying to:</p>

<p>Univ Florida (in state), Cornell, Northwestern, Dartmouth, WUSL, Reed, and Pomona</p>
