@musiclover131 You are a person of significant accomplishment. I like the schools on your current list and the additional ones that have been mentioned. I am concerned, though, about your tone.
In this whole process you are going to encounter many, many people who will try to be helpful-- on CC and other places. You will outreach to students and to alumni, and you will hear a lot of (probably unsolicited) advice from many others. You have to learn to accept it all with grace and gratitude. Nobody is trying to insult you or minimize your experiences. Throughout this process you’ll have to demonstrate the maturity and control to keep your game face on, accept the good intentions, listen to the advice…and then decide what you really want to do.
Many people on this site can tell lots of stories about shocking stuff that’s been said to them in this process. There is even a wonderful, hilarious parents thread called something like “smile, nod” or something (sorry I can’t link to it) about this whole issue.
Good luck to you. You are going to have lots of choice I suspect, and I think you have a great chance of success in your future. But please be measured in your responses. People might understand your challenges more than you think. (This is a parent speaking, but you probably figured that out!)
If money truly isn’t an issue, you may want to consider Washington U in St. Louis, a reach in the Midwest.
@mayorshinn again, I truly do not intend to be disrespectful. I’ve just had to deal with so many things that I know for a fact that one person alone has not had to. And that’s what makes me unique. I feel like @newjerseygirl98 was simply telling me that my story isn’t important, and that really killed me inside. I have a truly unique story to tell, and people telling me that no one cares just brings parts of it back. I can’t take it anymore. I definetly understand your perspective, and I take advice to heart. I try my best to have faith in others, to be a good person, and spread happiness, especially since I don’t want anyone to have to go through any part of what I suffered. It’s also easier to respect others when they respect me. Thank you for your response.
@LuckyCharms913 thanks! I will definitely check it out and look into it more.
Also, side note, a girl from my school got into ND with an 86W GPA and 27 ACT. Scores aren’t everything.
I didn’t say your story isn’t important. My main points were:
-Don’t be rude to volunteers
-Be realistic
-We care, but colleges may not
Please don’t change my words around. 
@newjerseygirl98 My main points were:
-don’t drag me down
-don’t act like my superior
-they’re called reach schools for a reason
If you don’t want people changing your words around, then I suggest you find a way to clearly express what you want to say.
OP has received lots of good feedback and has posted varying stats in multiple threads so I’m closing now.
