<p>where is Olin?</p>
<p>I believe it's outside of Cincinatti?</p>
<p>why is it so great? just curious...:-)</p>
<p>Olin is in Massachusetts</p>
<p>Yes, it's in Needham MA. It's really cool because they're revolutionizing engineering education by exposing students to a lot of design projects. Their curriculum is completely hands-on, and there's free tuition too :)</p>
<p>so my list has a few inconsistancies too (i.e. brown's lack of a core and chicago/columbia's massive core requirements), and a school or two that my parents really wanted me to apply to (i.e. penn). i'm pretty flexible though, and i've found reasons to love each one of them, and i think i'd be happy at any of them regardless of requirements/location/etc</p>
<p>the list is: princeton, yale, brown, penn, columbia, uchicago, northwestern, swarthmore, williams, amherst, emory, tulane, and BU.</p>
<p>Wow that's a lot of schools.</p>
<p>Some of the schools I applied to include Princeton, Rice, MIT, Caltech, Brown, and UCs.</p>
<p>Yeah, I knew I didn't want to be an engineer so I really didn't check the location ;)</p>
<p>But it's cool because it's free tuition, and just their brochure that they sent was really innovative and it just sounded really really awesome.</p>

<p>i believe it's... brunonians :p brownies!! hehe</p>
<p>oh brownies is nicer :)</p>
<p>Damn, I wish I had applied to Brown...</p>
<p>But for now-Yale and Stanford</p>
<p>duke, brown, dartmouth, penn, georgetown - I'd love to attend any of these schools. And if I don't get into a single one of those, I have very good state schools for cheap to fall back on. Either way I will get an education.</p>
<ol>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Dartmouth </li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>USC</li>
<li>UCLA/UCB</li>
<li>BU</li>
</ol>
<p>Notice I didnt put harvard. kekekeke...</p>
<p>I don't like Harvard, either, Hobbes - I just don't understand all the hype. But I figure that we all can't like the same schools; after all, if EVERY Ivy-applicant applied to Harvard (or Princeton), it would be even harder to get into (and that's saying something, as it is already incredibly difficult!)</p>
<p>Didn't you withdraw your other apps?</p>
<p>yup, i sure did. i didn't apply to Yale, D'mouth, USC, and BU, so i didnt have to h=worry about that. I withdrew my application for the UC's and Stanford though.</p>
<p>I was accepted ED to Princeton. The schools I was definately NOT considering were:
Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, Penn</p>
<p>Brown and Harvard were the only two Ivies I would've applied to, along with some others.</p>
<p>It's interesting that you'd consider Princeton, Harvard and Brown, but not Yale....Yale is usually seen as being the medium between the other three.</p>
<p>MIT, Cornell, CMU</p>

<p>I would agree with you, but that was distinctly NOT the impression I got when I visited the Yale campus. I didn't like it, and I was definately not going to apply - which is ironic, considering that prior to actually visiting the campus, Yale, and not Princeton, was my dream school. C'est la vie.</p>
<p>gianievve-why not dartmouth? I hear that it is layed back and beautiful. Princeton is my dream school so i hope that when I visit it that I don't have the same reaction that you did when you visited yale. My mom went to Penn and HATED it...every time I have even ever metioned considering applying(in the hopes that it has a good business program and that it might be easier for me to get in) she immediately tells me 20 reasons why not to go there...so I am turned off by that school too. I have never really considered brown...everyone hear seems to be in agreement that it is great...</p>
<p>Dartmouth is probably a great school, but the location, student atmosphere descriptions, and majors weren't in line with what I was interested in. You should definitely visit if you have the chance, though.</p>
