College Search & Selection
1

<p>GPA 3.97 UW, Ranking: top 4%, several 5's and 4's on AP tests, ACT: 32, SAT II- pending</p>

<p>I have already selected several schools from the top 20 colleges on the list by USNews.
I have also picked several local public colleges (including UMich)</p>

<p>Can you guys suggest some "match" schools for me?</p>

<p>What are your reaches and safeties?</p>

<p>Several schools from the top 20 colleges on the list by USNews are my reaches</p>

<p>The local public colleges (including UMich) are my safeties.</p>

<p>Btw: I have decent Extracurricular activities, volunteer hours, honors and awards,</p>

<p>Right, but which ones? We need to see what your other schools are like to see what you’re looking for in a school.</p>

5

<p>Reach: Dartmouth, Northwestern, UPenn, JHU, Cornell, WUSTL, Vanderbilt</p>

<p>Safety: University of Minnesota- Twin Cities, UMich, maybe University of Illinois?</p>

6

<p>UMich is not a safety with a 25% selection rate. You would be a match, so there’s one.</p>

7

<p>Take a look at Rochester, Boston University, Emory.</p>

8

<p>I consider Emory to be a reach school, and it’s in the south so I am not sure…</p>

<p>Any match schools in the Midwest?</p>

<p>Are you a junior or a senior? If the latter, I hope you have applied to Michigan already.</p>

<p>possible matches, maybe low reaches (include lacs - not sure you are interested in them) - see these: <a href="http://www..com/smallmidwest.asp%5B/url%5D">http://www..com/smallmidwest.asp</a></p>

<p>We have no idea what you want to major in but: Oberlin, Kenyon, Macalester.</p>

13

<p>Holy Cross, Bucknell.</p>

14

<p>Oops, sorry about that link - did not realize it probably constitutes a cc competitor. But, in addition to the school’s Erin’s Dad listed, consider also Notre Dame, Case, Grinnell, St. Olafs, Laurence, DePaul in Chicago, Centre College, Denison. These schools represent a variety of campus cultures and size.</p>

15

<p>I’ve already chosen Lehigh and RochesterU over Boston College, Wake Forest, and Brandeis, though sometimes I want to switch Lehigh with Brandeis.</p>

16

<p>UMich isn’t really a safety for anyone. It’s more of a match.</p>

<p>Notre Dame & BC are reaches, folks! :)</p>

<p>Do you need financial aid? If so, do you know if you’d qualify? Do you know if your family can pay it’s EFC?</p>

<p>What will you major in? :)</p>

<p>What are your financial safeties (schools that you can afford out of pocket or thru scholarships/grants that you know you’d get)?</p>

<p>Vanderbilt is in the south as well</p>
