Do the Ivies Talk?

<p>I'm assuming you are African-American. If you in fact are, it is in your best interests not to apply to any school ED, EA, SCEA, or anything else I may have forgotten.
If your grades are good, you've taken AP classes, youre new SATs are 2150+/your ACTs are 30+, you are golden. Especially if you are a black male.
Search through my previous posts on this website to find out why I say this. I am currently enrolled at Harvard University, and will be a sophomore this fall. I made every single school I applied to - Wharton, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, and Northwestern - and somehow, although I never applied, I was admitted to GWU and Howard with full scholarships at both. Of course I made the right decision and chose Harvard, but that's besides the point.
Best of luck with your applications, and I hope you take my advice to heart. </p>

<p>There is absolutely nothing better than a 5-way bidding war over you between the top 5 universities in the country - I ended up extracting a significantly larger financial aid award from Harvard (although they say they don't do that sort of thing). You would be prudent to do the same.</p>
