<p>only a junior, so it may change
safety = marquette, coe, UW system schools
match = wisconsin, cornell, earlham, beloit, lawrence
reach = colorado, grinnell, macalester</p>
<p>tony, are you a URM? you really need to post background things like that with stats to give us a realistic perspective.</p>
<p>safety: University of Delaware
Match: University of Maryland, University of Michigan, Case Western
Reach: Cornell University, WUSTL</p>

<p>I got in everywhere but Harvard, and will matriculate at Princeton.</p>
<p>good job bentley87! too bad you're not going to uchicago, but have fun at princeton!</p>
<p>junior but so far:
reach: berkeley, UCLA
match: ucsd
safety: uc irvine, uc santa cruz, uc davis</p>
<p>Also a junior- looks like there are quite a few of us on this board- but only for one more month! </p>
<p>My ideas right now... most will probably change:</p>
<p>Safety: Fordham, Hofstra
Match: USC, U of Chicago
Reach: UPenn, Columbia, Stanford, Harvard</p>
<p>I'm trying to possibly narrow those reaches and expand on my match schools... I'm a new student at my high school this year and I'm extremely limited as to teachers I can ask for recommendations. (Yikes.) </p>
<p>Does anyone know of good colleges/universities that don't require teacher recs? (I know Fordham doesn't... they just ask for a counselor rec...)</p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
