Below are our DC's reaches and safety schools. The safeties are realistic based on counselor's lists and Naviance. Looking for 4-5 target schools to fill out this list. Thanks!
Rice Penn Princeton Swarthmore Pittsburgh UC San Diego U Washington Female applicant, chemistry or computational chemistry major, top 10% in a HS that sends 25% to Ivies+. Want mid-size research universities in suburbs or cities but not too rural. Open to anywhere in the country as long as not too conservative, swing states are fine. Not interested in sororities/frat culture and not a big partier. A very social nerd who plans to join clubs (outdoor/camping, theater production, coding/hackathon, semester overseas, etc.). No need for merit/financial aid. |

| My daughter sounds a lot like yours, both in personality and in her school situation. Fit was very important. Was waitlisted at Rice in RD; is now very happy at William & Mary. |

OP: how do I Illinois, Wisconsin, Purdue and Georgia Tech compare to Cal Berkeley? DD toured Cal and thought it was too large. How would their academics compare to U Washington? TIA |

Interesting. Is Pomona a research university strong in chemistry? Is it a target for this applicant or a reach? Do you need to ED to get in if unhooked? |
