<p>Today the list is:
Harvard (for kicks and giggles)
Yale (same)
U chicago
Northwestern
UIUC
BYU</p>
<p>Kinda random but BYU has the highest yield at just under 80% of any 4 year university. Just throwing that out there.</p>
<p>^
Maybe because a lot of the applicants specifically want to go to a Mormon-affiliated college and there aren’t that many?</p>
<p>There are 4 official and one maybe official Mormon Schools. It could also be that LDS tuition is like 4,000 a year. Its a good school that sends lots of kids to Law Schools I want to go to. And the English department is fabulous.</p>
<p>I just wanted to say that LIFE IS SO AMAZING!!!</p>
<p>^ Even though I’m currently sick, I agree. </p>
<p>My list is
Reach: Cornell ED, Northwestern, WUSTL, Wesleyan, USC (only if I get into Questbridge)</p>
<p>Match: UIUC, Ohio State, Syracuse</p>
<p>Safety: UIC, DePaul, Loyola University</p>
<p>How’s that @ATP ?</p>
<p>Reaches: Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Cornell, Duke, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Berkeley</p>
<p>Match: USC, CMU, UCLA, UCSD, Michigan</p>
<p>Safeties: BU, Northeastern, Case Western, UCSB, UC Davis, Cal Poly SLO</p>
<p>I’m also considering Brown, Yale, and Harvard, but my list is already so reach-heavy. Some of my matches are probably actually reaches, and some of my safeties are probably matches.</p>

<p>Life is good because a few months ago I was struggling to get my SAT where I needed it, I was not the person I wanted to be, nor was anything seeming to go well.</p>
<p>Now I’ve taken the ACT and have almost reached my goal, I met a beautiful girl who helped me straighten out who I am, Soccer Recruiting is going well and I am happier than I have ever been. Life is just amazing and beautiful at how it can turn around so quickly.</p>
<p>@dzz do you want to major in dance? Just an assumption because I want to too! Maybe our paths will cross eventually</p>
<p>That’s great to hear ATP :)!</p>
<p>Thanks! I was getting really stressed about the whole SAT thing, was at a 1990 when i needed a 2200+ and then I got a 33 ACT!</p>
<p>Congrats on the score and everything else, ATP! Glad to hear things are going in the right direction.</p>
<p>I would normally agree that life is great, but my year-long English project is coming to a close soon and I still have much to do. Once that’s over with I’ll be a happy camper though.</p>
<p>Congrats ATP :)</p>
<p>I’m unfortunately the most stressed I’ve ever been. To my dismay, I am already getting expression lines 
– hopefully more water and retin-a will resolve it. </p>
<p>Anyone doing science fair here? I’ll be in Arizona in May; PM if you’re also going. :)</p>
<p>My school doesn’t do many ECs so I have less in-school leadership than I’d like. 
I do stuff outside of school but its all mostly concentrated around my fields of interest. I keep hearing “do something different” that makes you look “unique” but easier said than done!</p>
<p>AP tests are coming much faster than I’d like.<br>
Hopefully a month’s worth of review should be enough for me to do well on my tests.</p>
<p>The score won’ t matter that much to colleges though, will it? That’s what I’ve been told.
The difference between a 4 & 5 is negligible in terms of college applications. <— Is this true?</p>
<p>^
Lol, you’re lucky if all you have to worry about is the difference between a 4 and a 5.</p>
<p>I’m more worried about those May subject tests. :(</p>
<p>I’m too concerned about getting an A in the class to care about the AP test right now.</p>
<p>Nice, ecouter11! Intel ISEF, right? Unfortunately where I live it is so competitive that only people whose parents have Harvard and Stanford connections get to go. It’s unfair, but it’s life. I probably should have gone to the other county science fair…</p>
<p>I was really disappointed because I’d really wanted to go to ISEF since middle school. I just like the ideal of internationalism 
</p>
<p>But anyways, I should just move on and worry about the impending 5 AP tests.</p>
<p>My Chem teacher will bump you if you do well on the AP exam. So if you get a C, but then q 4, you’ll get a B. Or a 5 is an A.</p>
