<p>^In your case, that’s probably a good thing. I’m actually quite relieved that my favorite Ivy is widely regarded to have the most lenient admissions process.</p>

<p>For those who do not regard college as a means to an end, this phenomenon is actually quite common.</p>

<p>You mind stating your opinion of them? I’m quite curious since I can’t visit any of the Ivies (after all I’m on another continent). </p>
<p>Overall, fit is really important to me. But is it possible to understand how a school feels (atmosphere/student body/etc.) through paper or does one necessarily have to visit?</p>
<p>When people are speaking of ‘falling in love’ with a school, I believe much of it has to do with the environment. It is very much the location aspect, some schools just take my breath away. On the other hand, there are some that I just feel are ho-hum. I’m not speaking academically, but it often has to do with the atmosphere; it’s where students feel they are best suited. However, I really advise against falling in love with a school, as it is so difficult to get in; having your heart set on one campus often would lead to heart break. 
But then again, once your heart is set on a school; you’re often entranced; and there is no letting go. lol.</p>
<p>^ For me, I fell in love cuz of the students and the way they acted. That was the most important thing to me having hated my high school and feeling like I had to put on a facade in front of them to just get by.</p>

<p>@PioneerJones…thank you for making me feel less like a freak haha :). I sincerely hope that you get accepted into Cornell! They could really use someone who loves the school like you do. Are applying this coming year? Or the following year?</p>
