<p>Dream:
-University of Illinois
-University of Wisconsin Madison</p>
<p>Chances?/Target:
-any big tens/larger schools I could get into? Or have an okay chance at getting into?
-loyola?
-michigan state?</p>
<p>Safety:
Northern Illinois, Univ. Wisc. Whitewater, Illinois State</p>
<p>Any suggestions for schools? My dilemma is that my scores are in the top 75% for Wisc. Whitewater and Northern Illinois and I’m looking for a school that I could get into where I’m more in the middle or reaching that has at least some sort of decent-good rep. I’d like to stay in the midwest (illinois, wisconsin, indiana, michigan, iowa, etc. and not too far from home) </p>
<p>Should I list the clubs I was in for 2 years or less on my application for fall 2011? I’m guessing colleges won’t want to hear about clubs I didn’t stick with…</p>
