<p>Why do you care if I applied to all 8 Ivy schools? It is certainly my choice and I applied to all 8 because I wanted to, it doesn’t make me a prestige whore. With applications on the rise, I wanted to make sure I got into at least one good school. FYI, all of this is none of your business!!!</p>
<p>millancad, they all come out around march31 to april1</p>
<p>I knew they came out on or somewhat before April 1, but I was wondering more about specifics. Eg: do they ever come out as early as March 25th? Because If I were rejected on the 25th, I wouldn’t want to have a trip scheduled to spend the last 3 days of my spring break, which is March 20-28th, visiting Yale.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And there are many other good schools that are in the Ivy League. You applied to all 8 schools because “you wanted to”? You wanted to because they’re in the Ivy League, you wouldn’t have bothered if they weren’t all grouped together like that.</p>
<p>What’s a school that’s fabulous in academics but not also somewhat prestigious?</p>
<p>Doesn’t Dartmouth’s come out on the 10th of April…? That was what I thought. That’s what the Princeton Review 366 Best Colleges book says. Maybe it’s wrong.
Anyway for me it’ll be Yale, Stanford, Dartmouth. I won’t get into any of them so the order doesn’t matter much, haha.</p>
<p>Jaddua I applied to 18 schools (including the ivies) because I am an international student who needs financial aid. That list does include other great schools like Duke,UChicago, Northwestern that aren’t ivies. Way to be a know-it-all.</p>
<p>YOU APPLIED TO 18 SCHOOLS?!? Good god…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>College of William and Mary
University of Rochester
Case Western
UC Davis/Irvine/Santa Barbara
Yeshiva
University of Pittsburgh
Syracuse
WPI
Colorado School of Mines</p>
<p>There are a lot more that I’m not going to bother thinking of. These all have minor amounts of prestige but nowhere near the amount of prestige that the Ivy League has.</p>
<p>^yeah, but those schools, good as they are, cannot offer the same amount of resources (and, imo, the same quality of education) as most of the supposedly more “prestigious” universities.</p>
<p>To answer the original question, I’ll go in this order:
Grinnell, Harvard, Swarthmore, Chicago, Pomona</p>
<p>UHHHHHH</p>
<p>Tufts, Middlebury, Bowdoin, Amherst, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard</p>
<p>Do all these decisions come out via e-mail? Or online? </p>
<p>I feel like tangible letters would be more exciting.</p>
<p>Mine will be: Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Dartmouth
For no real reason.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Your opinion is flat out wrong. State universities offer larger amounts of resources and the honors colleges in these state universities offer the same qualities of education that Ivies do. Your idea that the Ivies offer educations far superior to those of other schools is a false idea.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>…How is that statement logical?</p>
<p>Anyway, you’re telling me that UCI offers better or equal resources than the Ivy League? Or that it has a better quality of education? I’m not one that usually likes to compare public schools to private schools in these terms, but honestly that is ridiculous. How do state schools and other “less prestigious” offer more resources? Just look at the endowment sizes! Are you trying to say that Yale’s $16.3 billion offers less resources than Yeshiva’s $979 million?</p>
<p>Ivies have an agreement with each other about when the decision would come out for RD. They can’t notify students before the agreed date. If I remember correctly, when my daughter applied a few years ago she was notified via email. They all came out after 5 pm. It’s usually end of March.</p>
<p>1- Princeton (no shot, just want to get it over with)
2- Cornell
3- dartmouth (care the most about this one, really emotionally invested)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I just picked schools that offered quality educations but weren’t too prestigious. And by resources, you mean research opportunities, yes? Because state schools like UC Berkeley offer a plethora of those. “Resources” is too vague of a word. </p>
<p>And this all started because I stated that anyone who applies to every single school in the Ivy League is a prestige whore. I doubt that if they weren’t all grouped together that as many people would apply to all eight. As it stands, UChicago is/was oftentimes neglected by many of these prestige whores because it didn’t/doesn’t have enough name value.</p>
<p>Also, these same people who apply to all eight Ivy League schools seem to believe that by gaining entrance into an Ivy League school that they will quickly become more successful than their counterparts who attend schools that aren’t in the Ivy League. They’re wrong, they don’t seem to understand that they will have to make their own opportunities and do things on their own if they’re willing to be successful. That’s why one can be as successful at a state university like Berkeley as an Ivy (which would be much more expensive for most students). It’s as much about the student as it is about the school.</p>
<p>Ah okay it makes more sense to me now. “Resources” is definitely anall-encompassing term and I considered more than just research opportunities in my initial response. UC Berkley, in my opinion, is very different from the overwhelming majority of state schools and its graduate prestige sets it apart in terms of research opportunities. I don’t think this is the same situation for 99% of state schools when comparing research resources with the Ivy League. </p>
<p>While I didn’t personally apply to schools just because they were prestigious, I don’t really have an issue with those who do. Attending a school with a level of prestige opens up a lot of opportunities. Yes, it is true that the school you attend does not get you the job, it certainly helps you have the opportunity to interview, make connections, etc.</p>
