'26 college list - looking for safeties & targets for a business/finance girl

[feral flower]

do you have ap scores? you can apply to yale with ap scores if u dont have an sat score

also georgetown is test required

all the ivies are test required apart from columbia and princeton pretty sure

so that might help to narrow list

i would look at some LACs like amherst or such, and look at the schools on your list that are the most different if you are trying to cut down

vandy and duke are both southern schools as well if thats a dealbreaker for you

[winter canyon]

university of florida is NOT a safety

i think the acceptence rate dipped from 24% to sub-20% this year

cool! can't speak on any test policies but if you wanted to narrow anymore down duke/rice/vanderbilt could go since. southern. not exactly ideal if you want a blue state vibe.

[feral flower]

emory is also in a southern state

[winter canyon]

completely missed that

they are test blind! so tests arent considered even if u have a 1600

once again cant speak to policies but if you wanted more safeites: orgeon, denver, depaul.

[feral flower]

yes

i wouldnt recommend applying to more than 20 schools

[winter canyon]

but if you have money and time.

either way prioritize the ones you actually want to go to and maybe like, 2 safeties minimum

this is true

dont make multiple common app accounts bc they will kill you

fafsa is for finaid, not college apps. but coalition yes!

some colleges also have their own application on their individual websites

i would recommend applying to wherever you'd like to go, including a few safeties and targets along the way

chance-mes bad 👎

no they don't, also thats kinda what this channel is for.

[winter canyon]

look at this

[runic cliff]

This is a very reach heavy list, regardless of stats. Need a lot more targets and more safeties, don’t take the risk with only a few. Also UF will prob be more of a target, it’s hard for out of state

[hallow radish]

maybe another umass campus

[winter canyon]

surely she wont be rejected by bama?

[runic cliff]

lol I’d hope not

[hallow radish]

also if you’re looking at UCs, you should review some of the campuses because some of them aren’t exactly great at networking or career opportunities or the location hr looking for

[runic cliff]

But the most interested schools is basically copypaste T30 it will be challenging

Not saying it’s not possible ofc it is

[winter canyon]

but dont you just do 1 app and apply to all of them at once? if thats the case i feel like she could lowkey research after

[runic cliff]

I’d take a look at wake Forest, loyala, and Lehigh too

[hallow radish]

it’s like 80 bucks per app

[winter canyon]

if theyre rich........

[hallow radish]

plus I doubt they’d want to go to merced paying out of state

any of the umass campuses would probably be better than a couple of the ucs

[runic cliff]

There is always a certain how much am I willing to pay for the name game

[merry horizon]

+1 for wake forest

[runic cliff]

Almost went to wake it’s beautiful

[merry horizon]

i havent seen the campus

i might tour or something since im in state

but def one of my top choices if i get in + good aid

[winter canyon]

+1 for loyola

[runic cliff]

It’s stunning….like I was amazed

And they do give good aid’

[honest hawk]

Which Loyola btw

[winter canyon]

uhh marymount right?

[merry horizon]

better than high point?

[runic cliff]

Idk never been to high point

[merry horizon]

i heard that theyre dorms are amazing

like top tier

[runic cliff]

The dorms are yes

[merry horizon]

basically like whole apartments

[runic cliff]

Wake def better education tho

[merry horizon]

fs

[honest hawk]

Is wake a target

[runic cliff]

It was one of my favorites, I almost ED

[merry horizon]

err

kinda a reach

i think theyre like

wake

ait

wait

do u mean like

a reach or target

or just

[honest hawk]

Yea

[merry horizon]

target school in general

oh

its a reach imo

[runic cliff]

It’s a high target or reach

[merry horizon]

i think theyre like #22 in like lowest acceptance rates

or somewhere

like that

[feral flower]

not for ucs

[grave fulcrum]

whats ur sat/act if you've taken
