<p>Hey malan89, you’re allowed to ED to two schools if the first school you apply to in ED round 1 defers or denies you?</p>
<p>RE iPacman: Of course! Why wouldn’t you? As long as the EDII deadline is after the EDI notifications, it’s totally kosher. Even if the EDI school only defers you, the binding agreement no longer stands. I would look into the acceptance rate of deferred candidates at the EDI school, however, before doing this. If you have a good shot of getting one of these in the RD round, I wouldn’t recommend applying EDII anywhere.</p>
<p>Chicago and Columbia. I decided not to apply because the Core is a terrible fit for me (and I wouldn’t get in anyway xD) but I wish I’d been the kind of student who would have fit the Core. And NYU, because I’d have loved to go to college in NYC. Didn’t apply there either.</p>
<p>And Rollins. It’s just so…pretty, and my first acceptance, and at the time of acceptance they even gave me enough money to go. But my need has gone up since then, so…I guess that’s that.</p>
<p>Also, Syracuse, the first college I ever saw and where I spent my summers growing up.</p>
<p>NYU, UCLA, Oberlin</p>
<p>Adding more!</p>
<p>I’ve gone to the Carrier Dome at Syracuse for the past four years for the NYSFBC championships, so it was the first “real” college I’ve been to (I don’t count Stony Brook or Suffolk). The area of the campus that my friends and I always hung out around was really pretty, too (the older part with ivy all over the place). Too bad that the student body was far too large, and I dislike party-schools.</p>
<p>Also, Chicago. If I was a core type of student, or if the core was more flexible, I totally would have applied. Unfortunately, I’m more of an open-curriculum person. Perhaps for grad school!</p>
<p>St. John’s College (the great books one, not the Catholic one). I didn’t apply because two of my biggest essentials - financial aid and disability services - are in scant supply at the school. Also, I wanted to be able to declare a major. </p>
<p>If sometime in my adult life I come across a St. John’s grad, I will be overcome by awe and envy.</p>
<p>Stanford
10char</p>
<p>Georgetown for sure
Not because of the school, but because the school is surrounded by one of the best neighborhoods in America. If I decide to go to law/grad school, Georgetown will be at the top of my list.</p>
<p>I’m also a fan of some of the top public universities, like Maryland-College Park, UNC and Berkeley. Don’t really know why.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well haavain, as a Chicago alum, those are the kinds of schools I love to see it competing against for students. I’m hoping you’ll find Chicago a little like Reed with a graduate school.</p>
<p>Flowering Spade - </p>
<p>As a Georgetown University Law Center (GULC) grad, I can tell you it is in a totally different and worse part of town (towards Union Station), and that in my years there I only went on the GU main campus once to see what it was like.</p>
<p>^ Georgetown’s law school isn’t in the best neighborhood? Bummer. I think it’ll still be worth looking into, though.</p>
<p>I have a super big soft spot for Pitzer…i didn’t end up applying, but it was my favorite school for a LONG time</p>
<p>I think everyone has a little bit of a soft spot for their state school 
It would be the University of Utah for me… although I suspect that my fondness for it has less to do with the college itself and more for the fact that SO many of my friends (from older years) currently go there…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Tried that already. She’s surprisingly intractable.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I hope so too! I am, ah, shall we say, not dissatisfied with my current options. :></p>
<p>Pomona. I would totally have applied if I lived in California… or at least not on the East Coast.</p>
<p>For S-- Carnegie Mellon. </p>
<p>Good thread OP. My S was undecided until the very last last day. We told him choose or we will (have too). He loved all his choices.</p>
<p>For D2, her second choice was Skidmore. She just liked it. She never got to turn it down, as she got into her ED choice.</p>
<p>Dickinson college. It felt right, all the people were so nice… I don’t know, if the financial aid and sciences were better I might be going there. So I just settle for recommending it to all my friends :P</p>
<p>I live about a half hour from Dickinson and it certainty gets under-appreciated at my school. I visited and LOVED it. You’re right, it was the people that did it; I came in thinking they’d be a lot like the kids at a LAC I live close by to, Bucknell, which turned me off. But I got there and all that turned around.</p>
