dream school is yale, but i know that's a reach. keep in mind i'm coming from a school where the GPA that get you into the ivies is a 5.0-5.5, cause our scale is weird and colleges tend to weight our grades in the admissions process because it is super rare for anyone to get a 6.0/6.0
other schools that i'd love to go to: w&m, washu, vassar, brown, hamilton, duke, emory, reed, sarah lawrence, stanford, mcgill, umich ann arbor, unc chapel hill
safeties i'm considering (are they really safeties?): uW [oos], u of I [in state], nyu, bu, uT austin, usf
opinions would be really appreciated!
