<p>I see that you have chanced a lot of posters.</p>

<p>If I were you, I would use this invaluable summer time to raise your ACT up to 32-35.
Try an Ivy. With your current stats, Smith RD seems to be your match.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr
Bard College
Hampshire College

<p>All of these schools seem likes matchs for you. Most of them I don’t know much about, but with your stats, you seem great for all of them. I agree with the above poster that you would actually have a fine chance at a stronger school such as an ivy. Good luck!</p>
<p>I don’t see that it would be difficult for you to get into any of these schools! Some CCers might see a 30 ACT as being weak, but that’s my current highest composite (I didn’t study, so I don’t know if I plan to study and retake or just stick with what I have), and I don’t think it’s weak at all. As far as ED goes, it’s always been said that you have higher chances of being admitted if you do ED, but you’ll also be locked into admission. Take into account that the unexpected may happen at any moment and you may want or need to stay closer to home or have a strong desire to attend school in another part of the country (for example, Johns Hopkins has always been my dream school and I had always planned to apply ED, but I recently fell in love, and that person is now a part of my decision - scary). Good luck!</p>
