I completely agree with what everyone is saying. I of course will have to apply to some ivy schools (cornell included @Marian) but I will also put other schools down and backups as well. I’m not sure why they think that if I go to an ivy league school that I will be set for life, so I am trying to convince them by going to non-ivy info sessions that other schools’ job placement is extremely high (it has been at every school I’ve visited thus far).
