<p>Don't get all grumpy, yes, I know I am reposting, I've re-evaluated my college list and am curious for input on the new schools I'm looking into, and I also have a few things added. Only post if you have something to say other than "HEY YOU ALREADY POSTED". Thanks.</p>

<p>Note: Because I did a semester abroad, it was difficult to expand my ECs because I was away from all of them. My TYG ECs take up most of my time in the year, and I was able to continue with those while in Israel.</p>
<p>If I were you I wouldn't even bother applying to Berkeley out of state. It's ridiculously selective and expensive to boot. Brown is also hyperselective. Your chances at Wash U would be a lot better if you applied ED. Happily you may well get into Georgetown and not have to worry about the RD round. If you do have to send out more apps, you'll get acceptances from the less competitive colleges on your list most likely.</p>
<p>Ah, I can only pray I will get into Georgetown. It's my dream school, and it's such a crapshoot as to who gets in, esp. because I am not valedictorian with a 2400. Hopefully my passion in my ECs shines through :)</p>

<p>salpert~ i like your sense of humor! overall, i'd say you're looking good, but as ridiculous as i feel saying this, your "flat" 700s will be "low"( i know, this is crazy) for schools like GT,Brown,Columbia,WU,NW,NYU( they had around 35,000 applicants!),Berkeley. good on all the others!</p>
<p>I'm applying SFS... the acceptance rate is the same, if not higher than at the other schools, simply because the pool is more self-selective. Would it be wiser to apply for MSB International Business?</p>
<p>Hahaha. Yes, much wiser if MSB. SFS is so difficult to get into. You will need much higher scores. Like ATLEAST 730 in Math and Verbal. Don't think they really care about Writing.</p>
<p>I thought about applying MSB but I would just absolutely hate myself, I'm not at all interested in taking courses in Econ or anything. So SFS is is =</p>
