<p>BUT BUT BUT:</p>
<p>BUT, I do think you should have more safeties and maybe think about why you’re applying to the schools you chose. Don’t apply just because the name sounds good! Some other options include Cornell, Rice, WUSTL, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, University of Rochester, Stevens Institute of Technology, UT Austin, University of Michigan, Carleton, William & Mary, George Washington, John Hopkins, Harvey Mudd, Northeastern, Northwestern, Pratt…woo, I gave you a ton. (Note: Obviously, not all of those are safeties) Now research them and think about what you want in a college (major, dorm life, etc. etc.) and narrow it down.</p>
<p>And I do think you might want to reconsider applying ED to UPenn unless you’re truly in love with the school (don’t apply there because your friend went or something). If you want an Ivy League badly, you might want to try Cornell ED. Last time I checked, Cornell has a 19% acceptance rate RD but 37% acceptance rate ED. Or you might want to try some other great university where applying early will raise your chances of getting in very high. It sounds a little superficial, but don’t waste your ED! </p>
<p>But anyway , yeah. DEFINITELY find some good safeties and write some killer essays. You’ll be fine. Keep up the good work! Hope I helped, haha.</p>
