<p>@lynjobes I know! It’s crazy how competitive it’s becoming. I figure if I apply to a handful of those upper tier schools, I’m bound to get into maybe one, or maybe wait lists? </p>
<p>Thanks for the advice @asianally. Pomona, Claremont, Rice and NW are kind of, mind my language, a craphole? Obviously not as much as Harvard, but still they’re up there. I figure, as I said above, I give it a shot! I’ll apply probably to Rice, Pomona, CMC, and two other “top 20” schools and give it my best shot. </p>
