rank your schools!

<p>so we're at 30 days until we hear back from princeton! to pass the time... i thought it'd be fun to list the schools we applied to in the order of favorite to least favorite. in other words, the first one should be the one you'd go to if you got into all of them. and then if you didn't get into that one, the next school you'd go to should be the second school on the list, etc. etc. etc.</p>

<p>wow, really....</p>

<p>is it a requirment to apply to Harvard or something when you send in your app for Princeton. You all do realize that applications arent free...in fact, they're extremely expensive for the Ivies. </p>

<p>If you went to my school, you'd all be shunned...(so im not sure whether that says something about you or the students at my school)</p>

<p>Yes, I applied to Yale and Dartmouth, so I'm not immune to being a complete Ivy-centric ****** but still....why would you apply to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford if they werent at the top of your list? Sounds like many of you are just too focused on the orgasmic joy of getting acceptance letters...</p>

<p>^ is your question merely a joke?</p>

<p>It was obnoxious at that.</p>

<p>I actually debated not applying to Dartmouth because of the $70, and now I got a likely letter. What if I don't get in to the other 4 or so high schools I applied to? Was $70 worth getting into an Ivy league school? Yeah, it was.</p>

<p>Edit: By high schools, I mean top schools</p>

<p>First: Princeton, Yale, Swarthmore, Cornell </p>

<p>second: JHU
third: Univ. Del.</p>

<p>How did everyone pick a first choice?</p>
