<p>Hi CC, </p>
<p>I'm having a hard problem choosing schools to apply. I know its long but please help me :( I really need help.</p>
<p>My current SAT superscore is (CR: 660, W: 720, M: 780) and I'm took SAT II french, math II and literature.
I think I will get +700 for math and french.</p>
<p>I'm an IB student and my cumulative GPA is 3.56, current senior GPA: 3.89. I'm trying to pull it up to 4.0.</p>
<p>My essay is not bad, many teachers and friends have said its good but I think it is not great.
Recommendation letters are good; they are unique and tell about me (according to the counselor)
My ECs are good compared to students in my school. A lot of leadership, service, and sports</p>
<p>I've currently applied to some universities, mostly safe and meet schools for early action (Kalamazoo, Dickinson, Tulane). I applied to one reach school (CMC) for early decision. And I'm planning on major in Economics and minor in either Business or International Relations.</p>
<p>I've narrowed down my list for colleges I will be applying for EDII and RD. </p>
<p>If not admitted in EDI, I would like to apply to Colgate, Carleton, Colby, Kenyon, or Middlebury.
However, my parents and some people tell me that I should aim for colleges I can get accepted (meet schools) rather than reach schools like Colgate, Carleton, and Middlebury. </p>
<p>Do I have chances for reach schools? Or should I just go for meet schools?
And do you think I can get into some of these schools + (U of Richmond, Vassar, Colby, Skidmore, Hamilton, Trinity, Grinnell) in RD? </p>
<p>Thank you very much for your help </p>
