Hey everyone,
As I continue finalizing my college list I am realizing the need to find some decent safety schools since the schools I am applying to are so selective and thought I'd start a new thread for this. I already know I will apply to St. Olaf but seeing as that really isn't what I would consider a slam-dunk, I think I need one more safety/low match school. Obviously the school needs to be somewhere I could realistically see myself so to give you an idea of what I'm looking for, I would say my top two schools right now are Washing University in St. Louis and Carleton College. I like both the small LACs and the small-medium research universities with an emphasis on undergrad liberal arts. Also am considering a larger public school with a smaller honors college where I would get the feel of a smaller school. Looking for a friendly, laid-back student body and great academics. To give an idea of stats...
Unweighted GPA: 3.94
Basically all honors/AP classes all years
ACT: 34
Writing:9
SAT Subject Tests:
Math II: 800
Bio: 720
Good ECs as well
Schools I'm considering:
University of Illinios Urbana-Champaign (honors program?)
U Pitt honors college
Macalester
Kenyon
Skidmore
Occidental
Any other suggestions/ideas about schools on this list are appreciated.
Thanks
Oh also I'm in Illinois
