<p>yeah, it really depends on what you want to do...Stanford's been my dream school ever since I saw the campus 5 years ago, but this year, when i actually started filling out applications, I put Cornell ED because I want to work on wall street (i know, good timing) and the chance of that happening if i go to stanford is smaller. </p>
<p>Then, at the same time, if i would have gone to stanford, I would have done some type of engineering or computer science, and then I could have gone to my state university and gotten the same job at Microsoft or Google...</p>
<p>so in this way, even though stanfords a great school and has been my dream school, i ultimately decided it wasnt worth it...</p>
