I’m all good for SLU though I likely wont be able to afford my some of the other schools as you’ve pointed out. However, there will likely be third party or merit based scholarships I can take advantage of which is why I’ll still apply to them. If I don’t get any, then at least I’ll be able to say I could have gone to prestigious schools which may help me out when applying for graduate programs or internships.
I have taken physics and 4 years of foreign language.
When you say my list is all over the place, do you mean my college list or my extracurriculars? Also, I prefer research colleges, but I’m not opposed to liberal arts colleges.
