Your company is public? That suggests that it's publicly held. Maybe you meant to write that your company is privately owned.

Be sure to have your GC note on the school's profile that Latin was cancelled at your school.

Your ranking still puts you in the top 10%.

What "kind" of school do you like? Big?? small? rah rah with sports? All braniacs?

Do you have a weather preference (such as: prefer warm climates)

Off the top of my head...

For reaches...

Columbia

UPenn

Stanford


Also... do you know how much your parents can pay for your education each year?
