2

<p>Some to possibly consider are Syracuse, Boston University, Gettysburg, Dickinson, TCNJ and Fordham. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>Reach: Bowdoin, Carleton, Haverford, Middlebury, Wesleyan, Grinnell
Match: Kenyon, Macalester, Trinity (CT), Vassar, Oberlin, Bates, Colby, F&M
Safety: Denison, Sarah Lawrence, Skidmore, Ohio Wesleyan, Lawrence</p>

4

<p>Vassar’s definitely more of a reach, as are probably some of the other schools that are in the match category above, but it has a great orchestra, which you may like.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, and Skidmore is far from a safety.</p>

<p>Some schools that I can think of (some are reaches): U Maryland (College Park), FSU, UMiami, Boston U, NYU, Lehigh, Bucknell… I don’t know, it depends what you’re thinking of majoring in!</p>

6

<p>Penn State, Northeastern, University of Rochester, Tulane. Rochester and Oberlin are both worth looking at if you are interested in participating in music programs, either as a major or non-major.</p>

7

<p>Just to clarify, I agree with the comments about some of my placements, if you don’t get the SATs up. (Some matches may be reaches and some safeties not so safe). But considering your class rank, I factored in higher SATs :wink: Good luck.</p>

<p>a bunch of the schools pontoforder listed, while great schools (i applied to many myself!) are not on the east…</p>

<p>Carleton and Macalester are in MN
Grinnell is in IA
Kenyon, Oberlin, and Denison (?) are in OH</p>

<p>but maybe your should still consider them!</p>
