To be fair, I got accepted to Williams early(but was permitted to apply RD because fin aid was unexpectedly low) and so I did not really put in effort for any college app beside Dartmouth(I applied in November) and Stanford. All my other Ivy essays were pretty generic and lame because I only wanted to see if I can get a good fin aid offer so Williams can match. I prefer smaller schools.
