Visited:
Williams -- Beautiful campus, but too much like my prep school.
Amherst -- A bit too small for me.
UPenn -- Visited a million times by now. (Parent is a professor.)
Barnard -- Very pretty, but I don't think I want to be in NY for college.
Columbia -- Ditto. ^

Planning to visit:
Princeton
Duke
Johns Hopkins
Georgetown
Wheaton College
Vanderbilt
American University
George Washington University

Know I'll Apply:
Wheaton College (legacy)
UPenn CAS ED (legacy)
Georgetown

Those are the only definite choices for me. I'll definitely need to visit more places before I decide the others.

Harvard-visited, pretty nice,-probably will apply(won't get in)
MIT-visited, loved it,-definitely applying
UPenn-visited, very nice,-applying
Penn state-visited, really like it,-definitely applying
Tufts-visited, didn't like it at all- not applying
Brown- haven't visited, sounds/looks nice with good programs
UConn- haven't visited, good math program
Northeastern-visited, really nice campus, probably won't apply though

I feel like I have a lot of reaches, off the top of your head do you any good Northeastern/Atlantic colleges for math/physics that could be safeties? Pennstate and Uconn are probable safety/matches, along with northeastern. Upenn, Brown are mid reaches, with Harvard and MIT being pretty far off.

So far I've visited:
Wooster- nice, actually loved it, would consider applying if it weren't so close to home lol
Kenyon- People seemed super smart, but the campus was way too small and people actually seemed too studious to me. Like, they would read Homer for hours and never take any breaks.
Miami (OH)- (dad's alum) probably my in-state school, safety. Gorgeous campus and small school feel but with lots of people.

Plan on visiting:
in February- Stanford, Santa Clara, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Occidental
Spring Break- American U, Georgetown, William & Mary, Duke, Davidson, Wake Forest

And I'm really starting to be interested in Barnard or Columbia maybe? I never thought I would want to go to school in a huge city, but something just keeps drawing me there.. dunno if I'll have time to visit though.

@halcyonheather, I live in the Columbus area and i have a sibling who goes to OSU. She went to Miami her freshman year and hated it, transferred to OSU and loves it. So I've been there like a hundred times so if you have any questions I could probably answer some for you.

upinflight

I've visited:
Cornell
Columbia
Princeton
Yale
MIT
Harvard
UMD

I have a lot of dreams as to where I'd like to go, but I'm not sure how practical (or where I really stand in the pool of applicants), but I'd like to apply to Princeton/Yale (probably too much of a reach), Columbia, MIT, and Duke. UMD for safety.

@efeens44 Would you mind sharing what your sister hated about Miami University? I'm actually considering applying there.

quidditchcat

So I posted a while back but I've already changed my mind :P
Here's my list now - no particular order:
UCSD
Pomona/Scripps/Pitzer
Brown
Yale
UCLA
Wellesley
Tufts
Rice
Wesleyan
U of Rochester
Vanderbilt
UWash in St. Louis
Macalester
Case Western Reserve
UChicago
U Puget Sound

*Possible Safeties*
CSU Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
CSU Cal Poly Pomona
Sonoma State University
San Jose State University
CSU Long Beach
CSU LA
CSU San Diego
UA Birmingham

I should probably add safer safeties.

I'm in California, so I've only visited California college/universities...

I just remembered I did visit UC Berkeley (on a school fieldtrip, but still, there were students there so I got the feel of it. There was this dude with a cool computer set up... he didn't have to get out of bed to use it. hahaha)
