Schools
(List of colleges by your initial chance estimate; designate if applying ED/EA/RD; if unsure, leave them unclassified)
If a scholarship is necessary for affordability, indicate that you are aiming for a scholarship and use the scholarship chance to estimate it into the appropriate group below; also, for colleges that admit by major or division, consider that in chance estimate.
- Assured (100% chance of admission and affordability): Michigan Technological University - Will go to MTU for a competition for Leading Scholar in hopes to get full tuition, only then will I consider it.
- Extremely Likely:
- Likely: UIUC - Instate tuition and I should fit the bill for what they want
- Toss-up: UC Berkeley
- Lower Probability:
- Low Probability: MIT, Northwestern
