<p>Where do you live?</p>

3

<p>Probably either Bates or Whitman.</p>

4

<p>Woops, sorry, I see NY.
Hmmnn.
I say Whitman and Vassar, as easiest to get into. Then Macalester. Then Bates.
Tough coming from Ny.
Have you seen Whitman?</p>

<p>I also see you want a moderate LAC. I would not put Macalester in there…and you don’t want super jocky vibe. Maybe don’t put Bates on there?
Whitman is very outdoorsy…very dead town. Some love it, some hate it. But very few kids from New England go there…so that really may boost your chances. What schools have you seen that you loved?</p>

6

<p>I really loved Kenyon and Tufts but Kenyon might be too fratty and rural</p>

<p>I really love Tufts I just dont know if I have any chance of getting in ED</p>

<p>Do you really think I have a good chance at Vassar ED??</p>

7

<p>If anyone else has any schools that I have a decent shot at ED/EA please list them!!</p>

<p>I am probably going for a major in political science/minor in english with the hopes of Law School…looking for something 2,000-6,000</p>

8

<p>Fair shot at all but Tufts and Wes. Be careful how you describe summers, colleges will not like the above description of your summer in France.</p>

9

<p>That was just a quick jot down description but out of curiosity what about that description makes it unfavorable?</p>

10

<p>Many of your previous posts make it appear you are trying to do the right thing to “look good” for your college applications, vs. presenting who you are. Colleges would most likely see through that. Be as authentic as possible.</p>

<p>What about Conn College, Lewis and Clark, Beloit, Skidmore, College of Wooster.</p>

11

<p>Do you go to private school or public?</p>

12

<p>noooo! thats awful haha I mean honestly this little profile is fairly minimalistic…I wasn’t going to write a paragraph about the importance of every extra cirricular thing I did (then who would read it?). I just wanted a brief taste of what I do I do.</p>
