I definitely agree that I’m overshooting. I’ve been pushing hard for my parents to look at more targets/safeties but they just don’t want to hear it. I think they’re stuck in pre-pandemic ideas of college admissions. I’m definitely going to look into a lot of the universities suggested here. I also wanted to clarify, I like small schools, however the architecture and opportunities at Uchicago are things that really draw me in, as well as the traditions there. In short, I just never want to be in a lecture hall with 200 people. I prefer small, seminar style classes focused on discussion, because that’s where I do best. I’m really grateful for all the helpful feedback folks have provided
