<p>Turned down George Washington, Northeastern, and University of Wisconsin to go to Michigan State. Wahoo!!</p>
<p>MSU was the school that made me feel most "desired." It was the only school I visited (of the ones that I applied to-aside from the state school 5 mins. away from my house). Plus, the school spirit/gorgeous campus can't be beat. It was also the only out-of-state school in my price range, lol</p>
<p>I turned down Johns Hopkins and georgetown for Tufts</p>
<p>I'm turning down Hamilton, Macalester, Oberlin, Bard and Bates for Brandeis University. But I don't think any of these are better than Brandeis. I'm getting the most aid from Oberlin, but chose Brandeis because it has a national reputation. I guess I'll have to take a student loan, damn.</p>
<p>I turned down Brandeis for the University of Pittsburgh. Finances werent really a factor.</p>
<p>Turned down Emory and NYU for BC cuz i liked it the most.</p>
<p>I know everyone has different financial/living situations, but why did you apply to these top schools if you weren't going to go? You took a lot of spots.</p>
<p>I turned down George Washington University, University of Rochester, Tulane University, and Middlebury College for Colorado College.</p>
<p>I turned down Wesleyan, Middlebury, and Macalester for Reed. Financial aid wasn't really the problem, I just love Reed.</p>
<p>ps: americanbeauty23 - thats why waitlists were invented. for people who could've gotten in if it weren't for too many applicants.</p>
<p>A friend turned down Northwestern 90% off (mother is a professor) for Macalester.</p>
