just curious if there will be any NSers applying with me or near me..

mine:

emmanuel, suffolk, UMASS Boston, Lesley, North Eastern U, and Wheelock

really want suffolk but its so damn expensive, and wheelocks seems like my top pick because its 92% female, and ill have a chance to play D3 ball there, and tennis.

Where are you guys looking next year?

Cal Poly SLO is the SHIT!!!!!!
I visit my sister there 7-10 times a year, and it's ridiculous. I wanna go there really badly, but the ski scene is well, nonexistent. However, the ski and snowboard club throws crazy ass house crawls that hand out bottles of wine at the door. Kinda like skiing?

Gonzaga and Seattle U are both great schools -- pretty much should be the top of your list (other than maybe Cornell). Great schools, great education at each, and great skiing nearby both (if that matters to you).

UW Honors
Boulder
USC
Berkeley
Stanford
Dartmouth
maybe Princeton

I need some more medium range schools, preferably West Coast engineering schools that have other strong programs.  I'm not interested in super workaholic schools like Harvey Mudd though.
Thanks guys

1510 math+verbal, 2180 total (my essay was terrible), 3.9 GPA

it may be a stretch but what about CalTech

Also think about UBC, super good engineering program and sick location.

I was thinking about CalTech for awhile, but it seems a bit too specialized for me.
To address the other reply, I am interested in Princeton, Dartmouth, and Stanford because I visited the two former and they appeared rather more laid back and social (animal house was based on Dartmouth).  My friend visited Stanford and got a similar vibe there, and it fits the bill for all of my other priorities for college.
I've heard Harvey Mudd is just all work and no play i guess, but realistically my generalization isn't based on a significant number of facts.

I've been considering UBC too, forgot to mention it actually, but thanks.

Aimee, we have talked about partying it up being neighnbors in Pittsburgh!! but you will be gone when i get there, unless you get into CU, Tufts, Brown, or Dartmouth, then we could (kinda) go to the same school!!!!

Not a big name place.  Eastern Washington University.  I have basically resigned myself to the fact that I will probably go to UW or Seattle U for my tenure at law school.

Yeah Tufts, that's where I go now, for undergrad. Sick school. Skiing's not exactly close though. Don't know a ton about the med school, but I'm assuming it's legit.

No idea where I want to apply to med school yet, or if I'm even going to go...way too far in the future for me.

Unless you are okay with skiing less than 5 days a year, never ever in your damn mind even think of going to SLO.

Good School. Hard to get into, but i'd kill myself if I was that far from snow..

Very true. Last I heard (about a week ago), they only had room for like 250-300 people. Which is nothing (not sure if it's true, although I'm 99.9% positive it is).

The attention being drawn to GU just through its basketball program is really huge. It's pretty amazing watching the school grow.

MIT? If you're looking at West Coast engineering schools, Caltech is pretty good, and certainly no more specialized than a place like Harvey Mudd.

I don't know if you're willing to go to school in the south...but you should check out Wake Forest in North Carolina. Such a sweet school, that's where my dad went for law school, and loved it. It's also a school with a reputation way on the rise.

Definitely very hard to get into, considering its law school is in the top 35 in the nation.
