amciw- I didn't mean money-wise, I meant the whole package. I hear about stress and preppy, stuck up students. YES that's a freaking stereotype, whatever. I don't want to go to an Ivy, which seems to be a sin here on CC.

<p>BU is actually pretty well-known for its grade deflation (i.e. overly harsh grading) and my friend goes there and seems pretty stressed, lol. i would honestly try to the school you like best...if you visited and fell in love with BU then certainly go for it but if you havent then im kinda confused about why BU is your top choice.</p>
<p>my sister goes to cal, and she wants me to go there too. my parents really want me to stay in california, but i want to go to princeton or somewhere in New York. Any advice?</p>
<p>UGH BU is NOT my top choice. It's my safety (ish) school. Like I said, I'm a freshman. But:
My mother, grandmother, great aunt, and second cousin have attended for undergrad. My grandmother and great aunt went there for grad school also, and my mother is CURRENTLY taking grad school courses for an administrative degree.
I have a deep base in the school, and the schools in Ithaca (I live about a half hour from both), and I want to get farther away. But I am a match, or even a safety, at BU.</p>
<p>wow when people like DataBox consider Penn a "dream school" it makes me die inside. has anyone seen this kid's list of EC's? If he applied to HYPSM he would get into all of them.</p>

<p>That's quite a flattering comment ChoklitRain, but I wouldn't bet on getting into HYPSM...There are far too many competitive applicants nowadays...</p>
<p>^ you know the sorts of major "hooks" that are supposed to get kids into HYPSM? You have about ten. Unless you are a convicted rapist, you will get in everywhere.</p>
<p>No denial yet, DataBox?</p>
<p>I mean, he's only in tenth grade... give him some time to mess up!</p>
<p>jk jk jk</p>
<p>HYPS Penn Duke Chicago Pomona Rice WashU. I'd be ecstatic to get into any of them.</p>
