<p>Question: Is it just me thinking this, or are the majority of people on this web site waaaaaaaaaaaaay above average. Over acheivers. Is there a web site for just above average applicants? They are usually the ones that are most successful in life, more so than the “uber over acheivers” :)</p>
<p>Intended Major: International Relations, Linguistics (minor in ASL or French)</p>
<p>My Colleges:</p>
<p>UConn (complete) - safety. It’s in-state for me, too.
University of Vermont (complete) - safety. I’d be happy there, though.
Bard College (complete) - kinda iffy on this one. High match, maybe?
Bates (in progress) - match, I think (I hope!).
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.
