| just my opinions, and my "ranking system" works in this order of progressing difficulty: Match, High Match, Low Reach, Mid Reach, High Reach
Stanford: High Reach
MIT: Mid to Low Reach (b/c you're a girl...I'd apply in a typically male-dominated major if I were you)
Duke: Mid to Low Reach
Cornell: Mid to Low Reach
Johns Hopkins: High Match
Columbia: Mid Reach
Penn: Mid Reach
Northwestern: Match
U. of Chicago: Mid to Low Reach
WashU: Toss up (Tufts syndrome, anyone? and definitely DON'T refer to them as U Wash! they'll reject you in a sec b/c they'll take it as you're not interested enough in them to get their name right lol) |
