Choose one ED1, one ED2, apply EA or Priority everywhere you can. Indicate you want to apply for a French major since it’ll be less competitive than Finance (which is generally one of the most competitive majors). Even if a college doesn’t admit by major strictly speaking, they do have to have a diversity of academic interests in the class and fewer students express interest in French/prelaw than in Finance/prelaw.
American University
=> Reach; apply EA or ED, test optional unless you have 1300+ on the latest test; they’re big on demonstrated interest so join their mailing list with your dedicated college email address, check every other day or so, click on interesting links (especially those related to languages, study abroad..) so they build a profile, and read what you clicked on - all of that is tracked; apply for the French/Business major to increase your odds rather than finance (you can switch later on if you wish).
Bard College => not the place to go to if you’re interested in Business or finance. Reach.
Boston College => out of reach
Campbell University - EA => target
Carleton College => out of reach
Connecticut College => big reach. Apply for French. ED1 if you don’t apply ED to American, or ED2.
Elon University - EA => high target/low reach
Fairfield University => target
Lehigh University => out of reach (replace with Dickinson and/or F&M for a reachable reach, applying for French; add Susquehanna, apply to Honors as well as Business and French. The college itself is a target, Honors a reach but if your essay is very strong it’s possible.)
Macalester College => out of reach (replace with St Olaf for a reachable reach and/or University of St Thomas or Luther IA or Hamline for a match after checking these 3’s French offerings and picking the best???)
Reed College => out of reach (replace with Lewis&Clark College, a low match, and/or University of Puget Sound, a target?)
Rhodes College => high match
Trinity College => high reach
University of Richmond => out of reach
Virginia Tech=> high reach depending on major
Wake Forest University - EA => out of reach
William & Mary => out of reach
“Out of reach” colleges are colleges that typically expect 1380-1400+ on the SAT and an unweighted GPA 3.75 with 8+ AP/IB classes.
