<p>I guess we all have our final school list now. So this thread is for you to post it (remember to indicate your first-choice). Here is mine:</p>

<p>Carleton College (first-choice)
Colorado College
Grinnell College
University of Richmond
University of the South
Wesleyan University (Freeman Scholarship)
Northeastern University
Princeton University (risky)</p>

<p>I have some problems with my schools. Carleton has the habit of waitlisting Vietnamese applicants :( Grinnell and Colorado don't have much money for int'l kids and they both admitted one Vietnamese last year. I'm afraid I won't finish the essays for Uni of Richmond on time. Maybe I'll have to change at the last minute. And Northeastern University, I'm not sure if I have already missed the financial aid deadline. What they say in the web and in the brochure they sent me are different :(</p>
