Quick School Selection Question

Transfer Students

<p>Ok...so most people are pretty familiar with my stats I think. If not, you can see them here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=289894%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=289894&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>So the point of this thread is that I've decided not to apply to a couple schools on my list for sure and am considering dropping another - I've now moved it to the "maybe" pile along with these. Given my stats and the fact that I am applying to:</p>

<p>NYU, Wesleyan, UT-Austin, WashU, and Brown - for sure...</p>

<p>which 2 or 3 schools do you think I should choose out of these:</p>

<p>University of Chicago
Claremont McKenna
Grinnell College
Bates College
Macalester College</p>

<p>I've researched them all quite a bit and determined the pros and cons of each (and I've crossed off A LOT of schools for various reasons) but I'm kinda stuck. So just opinion, advice, facts, whatever. I plan on going to law school afterwards and am looking for a liberal environment (obvious from my other school choices :D)</p>

<p>Tks.</p>

<p>Out of the five I would go with Chicago and Claremont McKenna but if we are allowed to choose from others, I'd pick Georgetown, Cornell and Northwestern....</p>

3

<p>hahaha that's very funny since Cornell and Georgetown are the two I dropped.</p>

<p>Why did you say those out of all of the possible colleges?</p>

<p>Prestige whore FTW :)</p>

<p>But erhmm I don't really like LAC that much. I prefer to be among crowds rather than to be singled out for attention...</p>

5

<p>Chicago, cuz I agree with above...</p>

6

<p>CMC and Georgetown.</p>

7

<p>To clarify, when I said above I didn't mean about the prestige-whore, rather the dislike for lac's</p>

8

<p>To clarify, I am only joking about the prestige-whore :D</p>

9

<p>ok well I'm not going to apply to G-Town so yall are wasting your votes if you put it as one of the schools :D</p>

<p>But people keep putting CMC and Chicago...is that just because they are higher ranked schools? ;)</p>

10

<p>go for CMC!!!!! its here in LA!!!</p>

<p>I was going to apply there, but they have the same credit system amherst has...so i would rather apply to Pomona, if thats the case.</p>

<p>academically- chicago and grinnell
socially- cmc and macalester</p>
