Current list:
Stanford: I love Stanford aside from the obvious reasons--academics, opportunities, etc-- because a) it's close to home, and b) it's where family went.
Pomona: Great academics, love the campus, especially the community atmosphere.
Claremont McKenna: Kind of the same reasons as Pomona. For the most part, what you get at Pomona you can get at CMC across the street.
UC Davis: Love the campus, near where I live, great academics, I can get in.
UCLA: Not a huge fan of the city, but UCLA is such a bubble that you don't feel overwhelmed. But a great school otherwise, I can see myself there. Also they have a nursing program.
UCI: Haven't been there. I hear it's nice, and they have a nursing program.
UCSC: I love the campus, it's got a really relaxed feel, but great academics as well. Near home.
WUSTL: Haven't visited (though got invited to Discovery Weekend) but looks really pretty, and has great academics. Also I like St. Louis.
Rice: Similarly, I haven't been there, nor do I enjoy immense heat. Texas isn't my kind of state (to put it lightly) but Houston is a nice city. And I know Rice is a great school with a lot of resources (i.e. Texas Medical Center right down the street, for those medically inclined). I get a great vibe, too, every time I read about Rice, and it's a gorgeous campus from what I've seen.
U of Portland: A little unusual, considering the other schools on my list. But I love Portland, and it's a nice school with a great nursing program (which is where I'm leaning), but honestly I don't think I would go there otherwise.
Overall, I don't like living in cities (more so the really tall cities than the really broad and spread-out cities, that I can do) and I like a good strong community vibe with a great academic atmosphere. Only 3 OOS schools.

MIT, Caltech, UChicago, Columbia.
My safeties are Hunter College and Stony Brook. If I don't get into my reaches, I'll try to transfer from my safeties. Is anyone else in a position similar to mine?

Rice, WUSTL, Rhodes (the St.Jude program sounds amazing!), and Yale are my top choices currently! I have a few safeties, but these are my "dream" schools ;D.
I think I might apply for Northwestern also, I need to look more into the school | |

Georgia Tech
UGA
Which are likely because of the HOPE scholarship.
But I wanna go to MIT
Other options are the Ivies, or else I really have no justification for spending so much money on education.
