Where am I destined?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey... I need some help. I want to attend Vanderbilt University, however, the school is getting more competitive each year and I need to face the fact that I might not get in. (I'm applying EDI) Therefore, I need to choose a school that I will apply to for EDII. Here are some places that I am considering and some feedback would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated as I am completely lost. (The list includes RD acceptance rate, and ED acceptance rate... I want one that is difficult to get into, with increased chances ED to a much more obtainable number.)</p>

<p>Skidmore (44% RD 66% ED)
Kenyon (36% RD 64% ED)
Davidson (27% RD 49% ED)
Macalester (44% RD 47% ED)
Reed (45% RD 66% ED)
Washington and Lee (29% RD 59% ED)
Trinity (39% RD 64% ED)
Carnegie Mellon (39% RD 58% ED)
Case Western (I added this because it is a really prestigious school with a fantastic medical program that seems worth looking into. It only has EA, but all the same... so some feedback on this one would be appreciated as well. 68% RD 82% EA)</p>

<p>I want a school that is competive. The surrounding area is not terribly important as far as location/weather etc. I would like a school with some prestig</p>

<p>Sorry that I can't offer much advice since I don't have much knowledge on the schools you are applying to, but make sure that your essays are good and as well as your interview {if they have one}.</p>

<p>Because your school doesn't have certain courses, I would have recommended taking those courses at a community college or self-studying them and taking the AP test, but I guess it's a bit too late for that already :x</p>

<p>Since your application will mostly be based on 10th/11th grade areas, so far it's good in matters of extra curricular, but you won't really have any APs or a lot of volunteer work to show.</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>

<p>Yeah, it is a little too late for the comm college. I did take two college courses at Gov. School, but that's the extent of it. However, I hope that our lack of offering very many will force them to look past it. In addition, if I get a fantastic ACT score I hope that will show my deserving of attending. >.< We'll see.... and thanks for the comment. I appreciate it. </p>

<p>Any other comments?</p>
