How many Ivy League Schools did you apply to?

Applying to College
21

<p>4 (in order of preference)
Brown
Cornell
Penn
Harvard</p>

22

<p>Just 2 - Penn and Brown.</p>

23

<p>^^ millancad, why do you want to withdraw?!</p>

24

<p>wow a lot of Brown applicants!</p>

25

<p>Just Harvard and Penn for me.</p>

26

<p>Whoa. I didn’t realize that people on CC didn’t apply to all of them.</p>

<p>I applied to 6
Penn
Brown
Columbia
Dartmouth
Brown
Princeton</p>

27

<p>Yale (accepted!)
Harvard
Princeton
Columbia</p>

<p>I was going to apply to all of them except Dartmouth, but once I got into Yale I withdrew everything I wasn’t reeeeeeeally close to finishing (hence the other three).</p>

28

<p>Yea it looks like I’m the only one so far that has applied to all 8. I’m sure there’s more on this site. They just haven’t posted in this thread.</p>

29

<p>Columbia (deferred), Princeton, Brown, Yale, Penn, Cornell</p>

<p>I feel as though I should have applied to Harvard and Dartmouth too.</p>

30

<p>WAS gonna apply to 3 </p>

<p>Cornell ED
Princeton
Penn</p>

<p>well guess what, I got in :slight_smile: so I only ended up applying to 1</p>

31

<p>I still stand by my opinion that anyone who applies to every single Ivy is clueless.</p>

32

<p>Or has ~600 dollars that they can just blow on whatever.</p>

33

<p>

I disagree. Is any Ivy League truly so terrible in a field of academia that a student wouldn’t consider going there to pursue that field? Is it not possible that a student simply ain’t that picky about size, weather, etc.?</p>

34

<p>only a couple so far have applied to Columbia! This surprises me!</p>

35

<p>

</p>

<p>Why apply to all of the Ivies if they’re truly not that picky?</p>

36

<p>^ Because at the very least, an Ivy provides a top education. They may not be picky about size and weather but they might be picky about quality of education.</p>

37

<p>Dartmouth ED Deferred
Yale
Columbia
Cornell
Brown</p>

38

<p>

</p>

<p>Many schools are just as strong academically and have equally impressive resources but are overlooked by the “unpicky” applicants.</p>

39

<p>None! Rice is where I’ll be, though.</p>

Alas, enough beating around the bush. There is also the obvious criterion of prestige, a criterion that many detest but is nevertheless important in various situations. Not many schools outside of the Ivy League have this.</p>
