<p>Honestly, if you love sports, but you still don’t know if you want business or science. Why have you excluded Stanford? Next to Silicon Valley (new-age business), great scientific achievements, best sports program for years and a school where you’re bound to meet some of tomorrow’s brightest names… I know you don’t like the weather, but I’d think twice about throwing it in the trash bin…</p>
<p>Your academics are great, but, as for all of us applying to the Ivies and the top colleges, there’s always a lottery-like factor…</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Haha yeah, I’m from the Silicon Valley…I haven’t excluded Stanford (and granted if I got in there I would be very happy) but I’ve visited a few times and it’s never really appealed to me…and I don’t feel like going to college right in my own backyard, I want to have the experience of going somewhere far and really just starting a new life, if that makes sense. If I went to Stanford I wouldn’t even feel like I ever left home.</p>
<p>I understand, that perfectly, if I get accepted at Stanford, I’ll probably cross the Atlantic and mainland America just to go to college ahaha </p>
<p>No, but seriously speaking, I think, that if you’d like to East, why not? It’s not like your chances are going to get hurt by going to Harvard or something :P</p>
<p>yep, but you might freeze your butt off ;P</p>
<p>yeah u will likely get into the school u want to go, this kid in my school has pretty much the same stats as you, except we have IB here instead of AP and he had a 4.8 GPA weighted, and he got into Upenn Wharton school of business.</p>
