<p>Lol, sorry, I didn’t mean to get fired up. You’re right about shortening the list. I’ve had a revelation (in the past 5 minutes, haha) that I don’t really want to be in an Ivy atmosphere all that much… I want to go to a school where I can be with people who appreciate being there to learn, to grow… that might sound corny as hell, haha, but I don’t want to compete too much anymore. I DO want to be challenged, and that’s why I’m planning on applying to more difficult schools…
But I will definitely take your advice about changing my options to include more safe schools. Although, NYU is still going to be my top choice. I really have a feeling about that school.</p>
