Is it a good plan to aim for Stanford, use University of Illinois as second choice, and college of dupage?
as a safety school? I'm only in 8th grade and my plans will probably change...but I'm aiming to major in psychology, or law (whichever I find interest in as I learn more about each). Take into consideration the education that each of the colleges provide in psychology (mainly that, not so much law), dorm conditions (bugs? food? air conditioning/heating?), overall ranking, and anything else you find to be important. I'm planning on going to standford, then University of Illinois/chicago if not accepted, then using College of Dupage as safety school. I'm not sure if any of those colleges provide good education in psychology...so yea. If you could tell me at least 2 colleges (one to aim for, one for safety) that provide solid education in psychology...thanks

You have a while before you apply to college, but it's great to see that you are taking an interest so early. Stanford, of course, has an excellent program for psych or poli sci or w.e. other social science major. Same with Illinois, but I'm unsure about your third chance. As for the best for those majors, I would say Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Cornell, etc. for pysch and for law I would go to Georgetown.
