<p>I'm only a Sophomore, but my parents are kind of heavy on this subject. MOST likely I will never step foot on this campus lol, but when the time comes, I just want apply just to see if I have what it takes.</p>
<p>Is it okay to do this?</p>
<p>it is a good idea to apply to reach schools even if you don’t think you have a chance.</p>
<p>Is it okay to apply to reach colleges? Yes.</p>
<p>“Is it okay to apply to reach colleges?” Depends. Are you in any way a realistic candidate for one of the country’s best colleges? Are you among the handful of top scholars in your HS? If so, then give it a try. </p>
<p>I certainly don’t think that everyone in your HS graduating class should apply to a school like Penn just for the heck of it. That’s foolish.</p>
<p>I see what you guys mean, It’s one of my favorite schools and one of my dream schools, so I just thought it’ll be interesting and a learning experience for me. Thanks for responses.</p>
<p>Even if you’re not in the top of your class, if you have a hook, go for it.</p>
<p>It’s not as if “hooks” are growing off of trees, Rush. Very few people have them.</p>
