is anyone here NOT interested in the ivies?

<p>Because sometimes, it seems like I'm the only one D:</p>

<p>When I applied to college last winter, I specifically chose excellent colleges that were not in the Ivy League. I applied to one Ivy League institution, then regretting it halfway into January. After a while, I realized that such a practice is just as bad as choosing a college just because it's in the Ivy League. I could say that I "conformed" to the "nonconformists."</p>

<p>I didn't apply to any Ivies and didnt think twice about it.</p>

<p>I always thought they were too pretentious for a country boy like me. ;)</p>

<p>I think that a lot of people are <em>interested</em> in the Ivies, but most of them know that they are not the right colleges for them.</p>

<p>I applied to one (didn't get in) and forgot about it the next day. Now, I'm happy with the college I have decided to attend. I think I applied to the Ivy League school just for the heck of it. My heart wasn't really in it.</p>

<p>well I'm interested in two top schools, MIT and Caltech, so that probably discounts me even though they're not Ivies.</p>

<p>but at the same time, I am an extremely technical kind of girl. The Ivies don't really give me the same feel that the technical institutions do.</p>

<p>i didnt even leave home</p>

<p>im not .</p>

<p>I applied to one because I really liked the school itself... not because of the fact that it's an Ivy.</p>

<p>Me. I applied to one, kind of just to see if I could get in, but then I came to my senses and realized the following:</p>

<p>canadian public school tution + scholarships only for use in Canada - one Ivy League education + one fantastic top 3 school here = about $100K less in debt</p>

<p>Not bad.</p>

<p>Not at all. Even if I did have the grades, I would only consider Dartmouth.</p>

<p>I'm focusing on liberal art colleges...that doesn't have TA's.</p>

<p>I usually think it's ridiculous if people apply to every single ivy league. I was honestly only interested in two.</p>

<p>I'll probably be one...I probably won't bother applying to cornell.</p>

<p>i applied to all schools in ca and cornell for the hell of it. i just wanted to see what would happen but knew i a) didnt have the test scores b) could never afford a private school.</p>

<p>i'm not, at all.</p>

<p>I didn't apply to a single ivy.</p>

<p>I'm applying to two. UPenn and Cornell.
I'm mostly interested in Northwestern, which is why I'm EDing... I guess you can say that I'm not MOST interested in Ivies.</p>

<p>i'm not interested in ivies AT ALL. i'm not going to apply to ANY of them this fall..</p>

<p>I'm not interested in them, though I am interested in an equivalent (Stanford). + Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCSC. West coast pridddddde.</p>
