<p>The "ivy leagues," huh? Assuming you have a reason for applying other than their names and your 'connections,' I say stop multiple-posting and go take your SATs first. Best of luck.</p>

<p>You should talk to or visit these people to figure out good fit schools. But unless the alums you know are on the board of trustees, donated a lot of money, or are important in another way, they can't help you much.</p>
