<p>^^^ "accepted at all eight . . . "</p>

<p>Do I think this not significant? LOL! I think this not serious!</p>

22

<p>well, I hope youā€™re wrong gadadā€¦ it would be sad if a person felt the need to create a fantasy of elite college acceptancesā€¦ would imply either a very bright and bored person, or someone desparately in need of affirming relationships.</p>

<p>It would be a rare thing indeed to be accepted to all eight, since Iā€™ve never actually met anyone that APPLIED to all eight. In another post, ouais does not mention Dartmouth or Cornell at all when describing his/her acceptances and 3/31 awaited decisions.</p>

23

<p>Accepted: Yale, Princeton
Waitlist: Harvard</p>

<p>I donā€™t know where Iā€™ll be heading this fall, and will be spending April running between CT and NJ. Itā€™s going to be a hard choice. Iā€™ve fallen in love with Yale since being accepted early action, but being a Jersey girl, Princetonā€™s always been looming as a dream school. While I am leaning towards Yaleā€™s social atmosphere, Princetonā€™s academic program in my particular fields seem stronger. </p>

<p>A happy problem, I guess. :)</p>

24

<p>Iā€™m deciding between Yale, Harvard, and Stanford. Iā€™m leaning towards Yale because of the Residential college system and the fact the students seem happy but not stuck in the artificial S bubble.</p>

25

<p>itā€™s a little weird the way it played out with the interviews, yes, but itā€™s still not really statistically significant.</p>

<p>i donā€™t think itā€™s that bizarre to be accepted to all eight - iā€™ve never known anyone else to apply to all of them, and a lot of people who can get into harvard, yale, and/or princeton can probably get into most if not all of the rest. the only reason i didnā€™t mention cornell or dartmouth or the other schools i was accepted to in my thread was that iā€™m not considering attending them. i applied to fifteen schools in total; those i posted were the ones iā€™m still thinking about going to.</p>

<p>anyway, please donā€™t worry about whether or not iā€™m being truthful; itā€™s ok if you donā€™t believe me, but just for the sake of the thread pretend iā€™m not lying (iā€™m not though if thatā€™s any consolation) so that we can have a helpful and thoughtful discussion!</p>

<p>pianista - which fields? personally if i knew definitively (or as definitively as it is possible to know without being an actual student) that i would be happier socially at yale than at princeton i would go to yale without hesitation, but iā€™m probably going to be doing humanities or social science which are more or less the same or negligibly different among top schools.</p>

26

<p>At Yale, Iā€™d likely major in either Applied Mathematics or Economics and Mathematics, and consider taking up Ethics, Politics, and Economics as a second major.</p>

<p>At Princeton, Iā€™d be majoring in Operations Research Financial Engineering with hopefully a Woody Woo certificate.</p>

27

<p>Ah, well thereā€™s your answer, gadad! Iā€™m glad this is legit.</p>

28

<p>Accepted: Princeton, UPenn Wharton, Duke, Cornell
Waitlisted: Harvard, Columbia
Rejected: Yale, Stanford, MIT</p>

<p>Attending: Most likely, Princeton!</p>

29

<p>

</p>

<p>oh, hm, thatā€™s a bit more complex a decision i guess. i donā€™t really know enough about those departments at either school (outside of that princeton is generally better regarded in math and math-related things, i think, but iā€™m guessing you know that already) to give you any worthwhile advice but hopefully someone else can</p>

30

<p>iā€™m going back and forth between Penn and Columbia. </p>

<p>i thought i had my mind pretty much set on Penn, but my parents and other people have been pressuring me since yesterday to go to Columbia. i think iā€™ll open my options up again, but i would really appreciate any opinions on my situation.</p>

31

<p>Accepted:Harvard,Yale,Princeton,Dartmouth,Cornell,and Penn
Ill probably go to Yale</p>

32

<p>Accepted: UPenn, Columbia, Cornell
Waitlisted: none
Rejected: Brown, Dartmouth, Yale
Most likely attending: upenn or columbia. canā€™t choose</p>

33

<p>not all ivies, butā€¦
Accepted: Princeton, UChicago, MIT, Duke
WL: UPenn (took my name off already), and Harvard (Staying on, top choice)
Rejected: Yale</p>

<p>right now, Iā€™m thinking Princeton (fin. aid), but if harvard pulls me off the waitlist <em>hopes</em>, iā€™m definitely taking that offer.</p>

34

<p>oooh so many maybe yaliez, exciting!</p>

35

<p>At least here, it looks like Yale is winning in cross admits to Harvardā€¦</p>

36

<p>There is no prestige difference between Penn and Columbia, but they are very different socially. Go to the one you like more.</p>

37

<p>Cornell, Columbia, Yale, JHU and UChicago (no rejections). Leaning towards JHU though actually since I wanna do pre-med.</p>

38

<p>bumping once more!</p>

39

<p>You guys are so amazingg. o.0</p>

<p>Accepted: Brown, Cornell, Yale
Waitlisted: Columbia, Harvard</p>

<p>Brown is actually my favorite of the five, but I canā€™t go for financial reasons. Pooh. So itā€™s between Yale, Cornell, and Texas.</p>

40

<p>just curious: yale seems to be getting tooonnnsss of attention from cross-admits.
whatā€™s its comparative advantage, so to speak?</p>
