<p>If it comes to pass that your do have to choose between Harvard, Yale and Stanford, you will need to sit down with them and have an adult discussion about why you feel that Harvard is best for you. Specific reasons - such as courses - are appropriate - as well as your own reactions to the different schools. You may find that presenting this on paper will make it seem more professional and well reasoned.</p>

<p>And - if its between Yale and Stanford, for heaven sake leave out the part about the hippie vibe, LOL. Relatives are a talking point, however.</p>

<p>You have a feeling you'll get in? Wish I had that kind of confidence.</p>

<p>"I get such mixed feelings when viewing these threads. I want to help, but when it comes down to it, are these people really asking for sincere advice, or are they bolstering their self-asteem by posting such topics?"</p>

<p>I wonder the same.</p>

<p>Basically, this is something to discuss with your parents.</p>
