<p>reading all the posts from april, way too many of those people are applying to stanford for my good(especially since they're probably seniors now too...)</p>

<p>When I was a junior, before college counseling, my list looked like this:</p>

<ol>
<li>Yale [My family always wanted me to shoot high]</li>
<li>University of Pennsylvania [I didn't know how good a school it was, and I wanted to go to an Ivy]</li>
</ol>

<p>My list changed from that to this:</p>

<ol>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>University of Pennsylvania</li>
<li>Duke</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Colgate</li>
<li>Middlebury</li>
<li>Wesleyan</li>
</ol>

<p>[yes there's a three way tie for 7th]</p>

<p>Juniors and Sophomores who haven't been exposed to the college process, there's alot ahead of you. Those lists might change drastically after college visits, and college counseling comes into play.</p>
