<p>@MYOS I decided to kind of scrap off all of my “postmarked” schools. Why
? I simply felt like I was rushing through everything. This time, I’d much rather take it slow and easy, and be less selective. Throughout the entire Insider’s Guide, I bore a somewhat mindset of “perfect school”. If I go through it once more, I think I’ll have more opportunities and make better decisions. However, a few of the schools that I “postmarked” during my first skimming through are Eugene Lang College of the New School University, Skidmore, Lewis and Clark, and Evergeen State College. What stood out to me were locations (suburban and urban), decent/small total enrollment, lack of Greek life, percent of Undergraduate in on-campus housing, and score ranges. I try to postmark safety schools.</p>
<p>I would love to know more about LACs (I have never heard about them before I even came to this forum)! I love Swarthmore and Reed, but I need safety schools. I am taking my ACTs this Saturday, wish me luck! After the test ends, I will filter out my “postmarks” again.</p>
