<p>2nd in a class of 89, but it's not crazy cutthroat competitive or anything like that. Cornell = small reach? How does that work out? :-P Yep, Carnegie Mellon is on there, not sure about Michigan though...haven't done much research on it, but assuming it's a really big school?...</p>

Yikes...Deep Springs?! Good luck with that.

</p>

<p>Haha, thanks. The chances of anyone applying there are next to nil, I looked at their app, they don't seem so concerned with all these clubs, programs, offices and such as they are with essays. I don't know, fifteen essays might be pretty fun to write...depending on the topic.</p>

<p>Why not? I don't know too much about it, except it's part of the Claremont colleges...it's one of the schools I appended to the list of 'schools to possibly apply to, not named MIT.' If you have any reasons, please elaborate, this is important ;)</p>

For a safeties, how about Case Western Reserve and the University of Miami?

</p>

<p>I'll go look those up on the Princeton Review website now. Hehe, forgive me but I do have a little personal ... distaste for the university of Miami, but only because their Hurricanes beat the stuffing out of my Huskers in 2001...jerks...er, I meant, that won't affect my college admissions process at all ;)</p>
