<p>OP Yesterday - rejected ED at NU with 2300 and top 5%!!!</p>
<p>OP Today - accepted EA at Chicago but “Given the difficulty of admissions, it’s just right that I cast a wide net. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”</p>
<p>“Like I said, I already finished all of my applications so I might as well send them to all of my reach schools.”</p>
<p>OP has gotten good expository writing practice with college essays. Why spend money to send them? Think first!</p>
<p>Why all of sudden does OP want to go to college in grimy Philadelphia instead of Chicago and think she will fit in better there? Has she ever been to any these places?</p>
