<p>We all know and love Vanderbilt. But, except for the ED accepted kids, this process is long from over. My question is, where else are all of you applying?</p>
<p>My List: University of Alabama (accepted), Auburn (accepted), Vandy, UVa , Wake Forest, Davidson, Furman, William and Mary, Washington and Lee</p>
<p>I got rejected from northwestern ED. So now I have vandy, duke, creighton, loyola in Chicago, and Michigan. I’ve been accepted to creighton and loyola but those are my safety schools so i’m not completely happy yet!</p>
<p>I’m surprised that Wake Forest isn’t on more people’s lists! I found Vanderbilt to be almost identical to Wake, though in a much much cooler city. (aka, not my hometown, haha)</p>
<p>Vanderbilt University (of course)
Brown University
Duke University
Emory University
Rice University
Johns Hopkins University
Northwestern University
University of Rochester
Washington University in St. Louis</p>
<p>tmat91, just out of curiosity, what’s the common thread in the schools you picked?
It almost looks like a mash up of 2 lists to me. Whitman, Colorado College, Middlebury, Hamilton, and maybe CMC, clearly go together. The others do not so clearly fit (not to me anyway).</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, the ones I know are all great schools. I’m curious though, as a Chicago alum with a kid at Colorado College (whom I’d have a very hard time picturing either at Chicago or at Vandy).</p>
<p>Vanderbilt
Northwestern
Wash U
Marquette
Illinois Wesleyan (accepted)</p>
<p>In common: small to medium sized good academic schools in or near a large city that tend to give pretty good aid, especially for National Merit Semifinalists.</p>
<p>i’m applying to 9 schools total:
Vanderbilt (obviously), Notre Dame, Princeton, Wash U, Georgetown, Boston College, College of the Holy Cross, Villanova (Business), and U of I Business (accepted!)</p>
<p>I probably have too many reaches in my list, but since I already got in at U of I, i don’t really need any back ups and I might as well take some risks</p>
<p>Vanderbilt
U of Florida
U of Texas-Austin
U of Georgia (accepted)
Ohio State (accepted)
Arizona State (accepted)
U of Tennessee (accepted)
U of Miami
Boston College (deferred)
Southern Cal</p>
<p>tk21769, first of all let me say that I am looking for a liberal arts education, whether that be at a liberal arts school or at a university I don’t have strong a preference. I will probably major in econ, poli sci, or history, and the schools I have picked have solid programs in those subjects. I am not sure why you think that my picks are a “mash up,” is it because of the personality type that is labeled to the schools?</p>
