<p>Have you looked into Fordham University? It’s a private Catholic university in NY, and it’s easier to get into than ND, although still pretty tough. In fact, I got into ND and waitlisted at Fordham. o__o It’s ranked #53 in the nation, but it’s still a pretty well known and prestigious university. Also I heard the campus is pretty nice. There’s also University of San Francisco, another private Catholic university. I’m pretty sure that you could get into that one. It’s ranked ninety something in the nation, but also a pretty good school. I actually visited in the summer, and the campus is nice! The church is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s a lot of people’s dream school. Not to mention it’s in SAN FRANCISCO. One of the best cities in the world, and very similar to New York City. I think you should seriously consider applying there, it’s honestly a great university. They have a great nursing program too. Both schools are pretty expensive though. USF gives some good merit scholarships, but I don’t know if you will qualify. Cornell is an Ivy, so it’s pretty much near to impossible for you to get in. Again, no offense, but even people with 2400’s get rejected. </p>
<p>Prestige isn’t the only thing you should care about. Undergrad doesn’t even matter much. And there’s an endless list of millionaires who haven’t even graduated college.</p>
