<p>@redhuntinghat- Yeah thanks I started on a new draft and I love it much better. Oh, also, I do need to shorten my list, but its really difficult because I have a lot of interests and all the schools on that list intrigue me based on my variety of interests. Its a good thing I have this whole summer to do more research and shorten it up.</p>
<p>Keeping my head up high!</p>
<p>In no particular order:
Sarah Lawrence
Bennington (EA)
Hampshire (EA)
Goucher (EA)
Skidmore
Southwestern (EA)
Trinity U (EA)
UT-Austin
TWU</p>
<p>*Still looking at a few</p>
<p>im applying to 14 schools. tbh im a little surprised that there aren’t more people applying to mid-teens amount of schools. I guess I’m just awful at narrowing my list haha oh well</p>
<p>List of Colleges</p>
<p>MIT (EA)
Carnegie for ECE
Cornell Engineering (maybe ED)
RPI
Penn for Engineering
Notre Dame
Yale for Engineering</p>
<p>Need more Engineering schools. I am pretty ignorant of the metrics in rankings and I was wondering how state schools with very high acceptance rates are ranked so highly in comparison to more selective schools?</p>
<p>I am looking for an engineering school that is extremely committed to volunteering, sustainability projects in the third world, and mission. I want a really want to be around a mission focused student body rather than an engineering student body more focused on starting salaries than anything else, which became very apparent to me as a trend among the colleges I was looking at during the Cornell info session.</p>
<p>I’m a pretty average student from Texas!
Applying to
UT Austin
LSU
St. Edwards

<p>@schli123 - Just keep in mind that if you apply to all those schools when you get your decisions choosing between all those colleges will be just as hard as it is now and you’ll have less time to make it. So you might as well narrow you list some now and save yourself money and reduce the amount of work and stress you’ll have during the application season. I’m also HORRIBLE at narrowing down my list.</p>

<p>Goldendoor, I could tell ur interests just by your list. most of ur schools were on r radar too. have you looked at Temple? They have a solid communications dept(not so sure what they have on film) and they have a mass communications major.</p>
<p>I am a rising junior. I do not want to sound conceited but I have a very good GPA, I have taken and have signed up for all honors and AP level classes. I plan on doing well on my SAT. I am going to prepare very wisely. I have narrowed my choices down to a handful: I will probably be applying to, in order of favorite: Southern Methodist University, Muhlenberg, Wake Forest, Villanova, Elon, and maybe University of Richmond.</p>
<p>You can probably guess I want to go for Accounting. I am from Lancaster, Pa. I have visited Wake forest, Muhlenberg, and Villanova. But SMU seems like the perfect fit. It is not too populous, beautiful campus, and is in the heart of Dallas which can let me receive great internships and job offers. The only problem is that I probably will not be able to visit. Unless I REALLY convince my parents. Muhlenberg is my definite fall back because both my parents went there and they give money to the school every year. </p>
<p>Which schools out of those would you recommend and do you know pros and cons about each (besides the preppy rich kid stereotype)? Thank you!</p>
<p>Basicspace, I was under the impression that through SREA you couldn’t apply early to private universities (ie UChicago)? Am I mistaken? Because that would make my life way easier.</p>
