<p>Wow, some of your guys' parents really take an active role in your college seach/application. My parents are very hands-off. They pretty much decided that I'm going to an instate public school. My dad says it doesn't really mater where you get your undergraduate degree, which.. is kinda true. When I expressed interest in applying to vanderbilt my parents were like "expensive, expensive, expensive! Illinois State for you!"</p>
<p>I'll just have to apply behind my parents' back and hope I get scholarships so I can afford to go to my dream school.</p>
