Both of those schools have a strong core requirement. Certainly put some highly selective schools on your list, but I’ll warn you that schools like Princeton reject thousands of valedictorians every year. Seems like students who like the schools you mentioned also apply to Northwestern, NYU, Boston U, Tufts, WashU, Harvard, Georgetown, and Brown. Also consider Swarthmore. If you are female, consider Barnard.</p>
