<p>Thanks for the advise everyone! Hmmm I guess I’ll reconsider MIT, I’ll still probably apply either way though because it has non restrictive EA. Getting in EA would be amazing and probably cut down on my apps a lot so it’s worth the bad odds. </p>
<p>I honestly don’t know if I’ll be able to visit any of the schools before applying, I live a long way from all of them (none are a reasonable day trip away, by car). Brown’s open curriculum is probably the thing I like most about it. I would not like a very heavy core, but I will have a lot of AP credits so I don’t know if I can get credit for a lot of that? No matter what though, I don’t want to have to deal with a lot of requirements (especially writing and foreign language), I’ve had enough of that in highschool. Also I don’t see myself joining Greek life, so I don’t want to go anywhere where I’d be missing out on a lot of the social aspects without joining. Princeton’s eating clubs sound cool though, from what I’ve read.</p>
<p>Dartmouth was on my list, but it seemed very secluded and Greek. I feel like if I went there and didn’t like the social scene I’d be screwed, because there’s nothing really around it. Also, that hazing frat scandal thing made it sound like an investment banking cult or something… Rural or urban is fine, but preferably not completely in the middle of nowhere.</p>
