<p>College List:
Safeties: UVM, Ithaca

<p>I talked to my Counselor today and he thinks it would make sense to go ED at Wake or Vanderbilt. I originally intended on Skidmore, but he says I'm a lock (I'm a legacy there) and I'd much rather go to Wake or Vandy . Can you help me think of additional schools? I intend to study Economics, but nothing is set in stone. Also, Going early decision what do you think my chances would be at Michigan, Wake, Vandy, and Emory?</p>
