@bernie12 Yes I’d love some schools that would not be considered super reaches if you could recommend them! If you don’t mind what do you think my chances are at University of Wisconsin Madison, keeping in mind I’m an in-state student? Yes I have been looking at some LAC’s too, but Occidental is really the only one I’ve looked at. If you could recommend a list of non super reaches, and some LAC’s that’d be great! The only public schools I think I could afford to go to would be University of Wisconsin Madison and University of Minnesota Twin Cities because of in-state tuition and reciprocity, unless you think I can get a full ride or substantial scholarship somewhere but I don’t think my grades are high enough. I really worry about not getting into Wisconsin Madison, although I had thought Emory was a better choice, based on the points you’ve brought up about honors programs and the advantage of my 16 AP credits at wisconsin madison, I’m rethinking my list. Emory vs. UW Madison… I’d love to see the schools you’ve recommended.
