<p>Might add a school like Holy Cross-has strong math program. HC has a nice campus 1 hour from Boston and offers good financial aid.</p>
<p>Thanks. Can anyone tell me ED adds chances for these schools? Also I received invitations from Rensselaer, Vanderbilt, Colgate, U Chicago, and Dartmouth. Some are beyond the reach. Do these invitations add my chances or just want my application $?</p>
<p>Unless you have done something to result in recruitment (like athletics) you are probably receiving them because you are on their mailing list…</p>
<p>Does anyone else have comments on my LA questions? (Haverford, Vassar or Wesleyan, or others) </p>
<p>Also, I haven’t provided info to these schools:
Rensselaer, Vanderbilt, Colgate, U Chicago, and Dartmouth</p>
<p>So how did they get me on their mailing list? Would it be any positive impacts on my chances of getting into these schools?</p>
