Should I apply to Northwestern? It would be my 18th school!

<p>Relax. My D. did not get into her #1 program (was accepted to college with huge Merit award, but not the program of her choice), so she happily went to her #2 for free (Merits covered whole tuition). Looking back, it has worked out much better than expected. Just go to any place that accepts you and you like, it will work out better than you think now.</p>
