<p>Intersting factor: I am very interested in fashion design as a hobby. I take courses at FIT and make some of my own clothes and bags. </p>

<p>In colleges I am looking for academically challenging programs with active social scenes. Preferably schools in or at least somewhat close to a big city or at least some type of city (defnitely not rural). Would rather not stay in NY. Probably medium to large universities. Study abroad should be available because I definitely want to study int he UK at some point.</p>

<p>Some reach schools I think I like a lot are Brown (especially since you can coregister at RISD), Yale, and UPenn. I would like reccomendations for schools similar to these and/or with the other qualities I mentioned that would be match/safety schools for me, because the schoools I mentioned before are kind of unrealistic, haha</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Fashion design! I also love fashion design, though I think it’s too much of a hobby for me to ever do anything serious with it. (Besides watch Project Runway fanatically).</p>

<p>I’d say your academics + ECs look preeettyyy impressive. Wait on the SAT scores I suppose?</p>

<p>Yale is crazy, I don’t know how to comment on it lol. I think you’d be able to get into UPenn, especially if you applied early decision. I think you also have an okay chance with Brown too… the Brown-RISD thing is cool isn’t it??</p>
