<p>Hi I am having a dilemma trying to pick where to apply early and deadline is 1 month away!
it is in between the huntsman program at penn and harvard/ princeton (probably harvard)</p>
<p>i want a strong jewish social life so penn would seem like the obvious choice but i don't have enough information on jewish/ social life at princeton or harvard- does anyone know?</p>
<p>i also understand that harvard/ princeton are significantly more prestigious than penn</p>
<p>therefore if i did get in to huntsman ed i would always think 'what if' i had applied to harvard/ princeton</p>
<p>my gut says huntsman because it is the prestige at penn, it is highly academic but you also get the social and everyone that goes loves it</p>
<p>but i would rather apply harvard/ princeton ed and huntsman rd just so i can keep my options open just in case i do get into huntsman ed</p>
<p>however i know this significantly reduces my chances at huntsman if i apply rd</p>
<p>what do you guys think of my chances for huntsman rd or any of the ivies?</p>
<p>also am i at a greater disadvantage if i try apply for spanish? </p>
