<p>Northeastern has been my dream school for years… I got in 
Moving on friday, can’t wait to go.</p>
<p>I actually didn’t have a dream school. I told myself, I’d choose out of schools that accepted me. But I suppose I should add I always, always wanted to live in LA (or NYC, but I think NYC is a little too cold for me)… so I guess I did get into my dream school technically. [ UCLA ]</p>
<p>(I think I do regret not sending out at least one joke application. I remember when I was college searching -at the start of my senior year, yea, I know, that’s kinda late- but anyways, when I read the essay/short answer questions for Stanford, I hated how pompous and arrogant it sounded. So for awhile, I was writing responses along the lines of “I know you guys have a reputation, but you guys aren’t THAT great. Who do you think you are? …” etc. Needless to say, I stopped after realizing I didn’t want to pay the application fee.)</p>
<p>My dream school is Brown. I haven’t gotten in though (haven’t applied yet, still in high school) but my fingers are eternally crossed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well that’s not really true. There’s a difference between elite, crapshoot schools like HYPS and the like, and non-elite schools. In my case, my dream schools were not elite schools, and I knew I wasn’t qualified for them.</p>
<p>which school was that diontechristmas?</p>
<p>If you would check the previous pages of the thread, I answered your question. Why are you so curious about this?</p>
<p>sorry ??I didnt read the other threads, man some of you people are so uptight about a simple ques tion lol</p>
<p>I’m not going to retype something. If you care enough, search the previous pages of this thread…</p>
<p>I did and it was schools in texas,florida and etc.</p>
<p>There’s your answer.</p>
<p>see I do care :)</p>
<p>No. My dream school was Harvey Mudd but they waitlisted me. Now I’m going to Princeton so I can’t really complain.</p>
<p>anymore lol, come on people keep this going:)</p>
<p>No, and I was crushed.
But cheesy as it might sound, the school I’m at now ended up being my dream school. I love you, UChicago <3</p>
<p>Yes, but I cannot afford it so will not be attending.</p>
<p>This isn’t going to stop me from having the best 4 years of my life. I look at my back up as my dream school. Pretend it is the best thing you ever saw, and start acting like it IS your dream school until you fall in love with it. Thats what happens to most people anyway :)</p>
<p>hahah thats good advice lol^</p>
<p>i saw an article in a newspaper somewhere. it asked people “What amount of annual income would make you happy?”<br>
- A person who made $30k said $60k
- A person who made $60k said $100k
- A person who made $100k said $180k
- A person who made $180k said $300k
the growth did taper off at near $350k</p>
<p>point in case? People are never happy with that they have. And neither am I (in the case of colleges, money, cars, houses, relationships, jobs, etc)</p>
<p>Therefore, I have no dream school.</p>
<p>Nope.</p>
<p>My dream school was NYU Stern.</p>
<p>Applied there ED and was rejected.</p>
<p>I got in. It was a small, elite, Mid-western liberal arts college. I even got a small scholarship. Still would’ve cost around 35,000, with my parents only willing to pay 16,000 (in-state tuition, room and board), I decided it wasn’t worth it. Instead I’m going to a huge, unselective, OOS public school in the southwest (ASU). Very different, but I like it so far. And it’s only 8,500 a year total. It does have a remarkably good honors college, which is why I’m here, and we have awesome dorms. Maybe Grinnell wasn’t really my dream school; my dream wasn’t being in debt for a decade or so.</p>
<p>My dream school was U of Chicago. I applied EA on 10/25, was deferred on 12/15, was waitlisted on 3/25, and admitted on 6/19. My story is a sad one about two lovers who never reciprocated love to each other. By the time I had settled with UMich, chosen all my classes, and gone to orientation, UChicago finally said “Yes” but the ship had already set sailed. On 8/6, they sent another letter saying that they were incredibly sorry about making me wait so long and were sorry that I had chosen not to go to their school and invited me to apply to their grad school whenever I am ready. </p>
<p>Well, Chicago, I’ll try to be back in 4 or 5 years for my Math PhD or whatever I chose to do for postgrad. Hopefully, we’re meant to be.</p>
