<p>a bit excessive, maybe, but I like to use the shotgun approach when it comes to college applications</p>

<p>As to my selection of colleges. This summer I visited a great deal of the ones in the Northeast. I am applying to Duke because I love the atmosphere. All of the other schools I'm applying to because they've been sending me pamplets for a Loooooooooong time. The UC's are sort of obligatory for students from my High School so I applied to them.</p>

<p>btw-got into tulane, full ride so even if I get rejected from the rest of the colleges at least I wont be a college orphan</p>

<p>response pleasssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1</p>

<p>Your ECs are impressive. I didn't notice any leadership positions, but, there's a a nice symmetry about them. Your football experience will go a long way with the NESCAC schools (Wesleyan, Williams and Amherst) maybe even with Georgetown. The violin might play well at Swarthmore. I still think HYP are a bit of a reach (but, I would say that no matter how strong your stats were.) And, of course, being a Californian helps everywhere East of the Rockies. Good luck!</p>

<p>I'd go back to the drawing board when it comes to the college list. You're all over the place. Urban, rural, LAC, research university... Do you have any idea what you want, or are you just in it for the prestige?</p>

<p>If you get into any of those schools, I will be depressed. Your</a> close mindedness is absurd.</p>

<p>hmm..... well I already got into Tulane. Apparently they didnt share your attitude and my passion was a plus instead of a negative.</p>

<p>and I know that Tulane and Hahavd are a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way apart from each other. but still, nice to know that I have at least one place to go to next year.</p>

<p>bump................................................................. response?</p>

<p>you'll get into some of those</p>

<p>anyone out there in cyberland</p>
