<h2>Oh, and I haven't gotten my SAT II scores yet, but I presume they'll be 750+. XD</h2>
<p>Since I'm in the top 10 percent in Texas, I pretty much have a free seat at UT Austin. This gives me the ability to apply to some more reach schools, so...here's the list that I'll eventually whittle down:</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Penn (Huntsman--a huge reach, I know), Cornell, NYU (Stern&BPE), UT-Austin (McCombs&Business Honors/Plan II), Claremont McKenna, Pomona, Stanford, Rice, and A&M</p>
<p>I'm planning on doing an undergrad in something akin to economics, government, political science, or international relations. </p>
<p>Other recommendations are welcome. :D</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
