<p>Thanks for all the responses, everyone!</p>
<p>My nephew is a PHD candidate in Micro Biology @ MIT. He loves it. He went undergrad to Carnegie Mellon.</p>
<p>I also was accepted EA to MIT. I applied to Princeton as well.</p>
<p>Right now it’s a matter of which school will provide FA, if I am admitted to Princeton (not counting on it).</p>
<p>If I don’t get into Princeton, I will be quite happy at MIT (#1 choice plus I visted and liked the campus somewhat, I don’t think I appreciated it fully at the time because I visited Harvard right before lol.)</p>
<p>Go for it, apply to other schools. It doesn’t hurt to try!</p>
