What would be some match schools for me? What are my chances for the top liberal arts schools and the Ivies?

Thank you so much for your time!

The top LACs and Ivies are reaches for all given their very low acceptance rates. Being a white female from MA puts you in one of the more competitive pools. Moving states is not a hook. You have some good leadership.

Decide on some top LACs and Ivies you like the best and make those your reaches, More important will be choosing your matches and safeties. For folks to help you, give us some more info, to start:
Will you be relying on financial aid or will you be full pay?
What are your areas of academic interest?
Geographical preferences? Urban, suburban, rural? Does greek life appeal to you, indifferent, want to avoid?
Would you consider women’s colleges? (strong academics but more forgiving acceptance rates)

@doschicos I plan on paying full but might be tempted if offered solid financial aid at a solid school.

I think rural or suburban schools (other than Columbia). Preferably smaller schools. I want to stay in the Northeast! Preferably little/no greek life. I want a coed environment as well.

Thanks so much! :smiley:

Take a look at Bates for starters. Strong debate team, no greek life.
