<p>First I considered only MIT! Then considered all the ivy s. I have big passion for engineering. I thought I was a strong applicant. Now, when the deadlines are approaching I am feeling totally scared and stopping down. I am now thinking of not applying to any of the ivy s and I'm seriously considering applying for some liberal arts colleges for early decision... Binding. At this point I am totally stressed and confused. Is that a right choice? Or am I making a huge huge mistake?
Do I have any chance what so ever in the ivy s like Cornell? Should I consider applying to them or just apply only to liberal art colleges(just because they have greater chance)? Is there any college where I can fit?</p>
