University of Vermont (complete) - safety. I’d be happy there, though.

American (complete) - I like the programs, but I’d have to visit to see if the environment suits me.
Macalester College (in progress) - 2nd choice. I really hope I get in.
NYU (in progress) - tied for 2nd choice with Mac. I love this school, too.
UChicago (complete) - 1st choice. Super-mega-reach. I’d go there in a heartbeat, but I’m not planning on getting in.</p>
