<p>It's hard to turn down colleges, yes. Which ones are you guys turning out, and which one are you going to?</p>
<p>turning down uci,ucla,ucberk (all regents), dartmouth, cornell, amherst, duke</p>
<p>going to princeton!</p>
<p>Ummmmm… I turned down all except for one. Do you know anyone who does it differently?</p>
<p>Really though – this thread will attract posters who can’t wait to say “Look! I didn’t have to settle for X, Y, or Z”. Is that really necessary?</p>
<p>I applied to my big state school early and got tons of scholarship money. I applied to some big name engineering schools as a “what if” and then I applied to some Ivies. All accepted me and I matriculated at an HYP. But in reality, I know that I would have enjoyed myself at probably every single one of those colleges. </p>
<p>Threads like this quickly turn into “My school is better than these…”</p>
