<p>so i know ivy's are just a ridiculous stretch but if i were to do ED brown would i have any shot? i went to their precollege over the summer and loved it but they said that wouldn't make a difference in admissions. i don't want to do ED if it's futile... i also really like uc berkeley, columbia, nyu, university of michigan (double legacy and my brother goes there and my dad works there), etc. any of those look like they would be in the cards for me? please help!!!</p>
