<p>Thanks for the responses.
-So I guess Harvey Mudd is added to my list, and I should go visit there soon. I had the chance to talk with a friend who’s entering his 4th year there, and he seems to really like it there.
-The main reason I’m applying to USC is because of the scholarship opportunity. Along with UCSD, its one of my safeties.
-I’ll have to check out University of Chicago too.</p>
<p>I’m still questioning applying early to Caltech. Is it the right decision if I think it is a good match for me? Is there a real advantage in EA? (I know their website says there isnt) Or is there an advantage to waiting the extra month or two for the RD round and working on perfecting my application? I personally don’t know anyone who has applied there early, so I’m not very sure.</p>
