<p>Should I include a list of the colleges I got accepted to? So far I have gotten accepted to one top university and a couple of lesser known ones. I'm going to be applying to ivy leagues and a couple of other schools so I want to know if this could better my application..</p>
<p>Also, any additional tips would be greatly appreciated!
And I want to be honest about my essays and not seem like I'm trying be something I'm not.</p>
<p>That’s an interesting question. Unless you were accepted to Harvard, Princeton, Stanford or MIT, which are Yale’s direct peers, I don’t think mentioning it would help your chances. And you’d have to explain why Yale is now your top choice and why you applied to HPSM early and not to Yale.</p>
<p>I completely agree with gibby’s point. It’s non-sense to mention other peer colleges in an application unless the applicant is the best of the bests in decades.</p>
<p>I don’t think you should mention them at all. Of course, if you are a viable Yale applicant, Yale knows you will be able to reel in other schools (and even top schools) to admit you.</p>
<p>Why would you do it? To put pressure on Yale? They’re immune to it. They could easily say: here’s a favor for you: reject. Now you have less to worry about.</p>
