Dilemma

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>Should I apply to a match school ED?</p>

<p>or </p>

<p>should I apply to a dream school ED (Princeton)?</p>

<p>If I get into a match school ED, I'm afraid I might regret never having tried applying to my dream school... </p>

<p>Any advices?</p>

<p>Thanx a bunch!</p>

<p>Can you pay for both of those schools without financial aid/merit money?</p>

<p>If money is not of object, apply to Princeton ED.</p>

<p>If money is a concern, don't apply anywhere ED.</p>

<p>Why would you apply to a match school ED if your dream school is something else? Single choice ED should be used only if you know you'd be delighted to go to the school if you're accepted. It doesn't sound like you feel that way about your match school.</p>

<p>Suppose you apply there ED, get in and then find out that someone with similar stats/ECs to you was accepted ED to Princeton? Wouldn't you kick yourself? You'd also be stuck with going ED to your match school.</p>

<p>And I agree with the person who said that if money is a factor then don't apply anywhere ED.</p>

<p>hmm i see...
colleges say that financial aid status does not affect the admission...</p>

<p>what's truee???
ahhhhh</p>

<p>I've always felt that Princeton would not like reject studetns with need because they give (not loan) money to needy students even internationals...</p>

<p>hello? any thoughts please?</p>

<p>If it's a match school it seems that you would do just fine in the RD pool, also, as said before, if money is not an issue or actually if money is REALLY an issue, then apply RD b/c either you're rich w/ no fin aid package, or you're considerably poor and end up with an amazing fin aid package, and in both cases you'll be happy w/ attending your dream school.</p>

<p>okay. thank you!</p>

<p>so apply to dream school ED</p>

<p>and apply to match school RD.
got it!</p>
