Too many schools - Info on schools? Tips for reducing list?

<p>slipper-</p>

<p>That makes sense, but it's not helping me narrow my list :(</p>

<p>I'm thinking (as of now):</p>

<p>Drop Macalester and maybe Bates and Haverford(visit if I can, but if not too bad); add Dartmouth.</p>

<p>Have a visit trip to Chicago, out east, and Cali(#2) if I can.</p>

<p>And I want to visit as many of my app sites as I can. I think that I would be able to have better essays, and have a better feel of each college.</p>
