<p>I’m really in love with the first 4 schools on my list. D: Should probably find some safeties…most likely going to apply to a state school, too.</p>

<p>1-10: UChicago</p>

<p>@catchinginfinity: isn’t Berkeley a safety?</p>

<p>For my daughter:
Stanford
Yale
Harvard
Princeton
UPenn
UCLA (Regents scholarship and UCLA Alumni scholarship invites)
Cornell
UC Berkeley (Alumni Leadership scholarship invite)
USC (Already admitted, Presidential scholarship finalist)
UCSD</p>

<p>@TeamRocketGrunt - No…Berkeley has like a 15% admit rate and I’m out-of-state. The scholarship I want to try and get from Berkeley is more selective than Stanford, actually…</p>

<p>Yeah, Berkeley definitely isn’t a safety, especially for OOS students, and especially if you’re majoring in engineering. I’m both and would love to go to UCB, but 1) The chances of getting in are probably as good as any Ivy and 2) UC schools give the ■■■■■■■■■ financial aid, especially for OOS. </p>

<p>I don’t really have a top ten list, I just have a bunch of schools I’d like to go to more than others, and ones that are more convenient to go to than others (price/location/major-wise). The cheapest school for me would be Harvard (due to my financial bracket it’d be absolutely free), so I guess that should be my #1 choice because it’s the most realistic–but it’s also not so realistic because I have an extremely slim chance of getting in. UC Berkeley would also be a dream of mine, but price-wise it’s not-so realistic. See what I mean? Brown is closest, so that would be realistic, but my chances of getting in are just a little better than Harvard’s. Duke is also a school I’d love to go to and OK price-wise, so it’s up there. I still have to look a bit into Boston University, UChicago, and Northeastern, but they also sound very promising. </p>

<p>I’m kind of glad though that I don’t have a strict “top ten” list though. Eases the pressure. I’m only a sophomore so I won’t be applying until a year or so, but the schools I’m planning to apply to are all schools that I’d be overjoyed being accepted to, yet also OK with not getting into, so I’m all good :)</p>

<p>In order of most preferred to least:

  • Quinnipiac
  • Monmouth University
  • Hofstra
  • Bentley
  • Scranton
  • SUNY New Paltz</p>

<p>These are my top six schools, all of which I’d be more than happy to complete my four years of undergraduate collegiate education at.</p>

<p>Mine are:</p>

<p>1- MIT
2-Stanford
3- CalTech
4- UC Berkeley
5- Carnegie Mellon
6- Cornell
7-Georgia Tech
8- U of I (Urbana Campaign)
9- Northwestern </p>
