<p>So far… I’m thinking, Berkeley, USD (gives really good scholarships, good chance of getting in), Stanford (reach school), Chapman (good chance of getting in, USC (national merit finalist scholarship sounds very lucrative, good chance of getting in), Pepperdine (good change of getting in), UCLA (good chance of getting in), UChicago (reach school), Northwestern (reach school), Columbia (reach school), Yale (reach school), Princeton (reach school), NYU, Fordham (safety), Adelphi (safety), St. John’s (safety) and LSU (safety). </p>
<p>I’m thinking about applying to Stanford EA, but it is restrictive so I can’t apply to any other private college EA. But most all my private colleges listed don’t even offer Early Action (USC, USD does but I don’t feel it’d be necessary to apply early, NYU is only ED, Columbia is only ED, Princeton is only ED) and all the public universities I’d like to apply to are mainly UC’s that don’t offer EA. So I think a restrictive EA wouldn’t be bad for me.</p>
