<p>I’m from Canada but I didn’t apply to any Canadian schools because the version of football played up here isn’t real football. However I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place, since my parents are afraid that if I go to an American school I’d end up dead in a ditch somewhere and the furthest school they would let me go to is SUNY-Buffalo.</p>
<p>I didnt apply to Dartmouth and Cornell because they were in the middle of nowhere, and I was afraid I would get claustrophobic being in a little town ><.

I applied to Duke and completely forgot I even applied there.

<p>I wish I could redo my college applications because I would have applied to Dartmouth and Yale; and I would have not applied to Columbia, Duke, and UChicago.</p>
<p>I applied to Goucher without visiting, and when I visited I first decided I would go there because the admissions office had a fountain outside and stained glass in the windows, and it was “Humans vs. Zombies” week. Then I found out that their mascot was the Gophers… no thanks.</p>
<p>When I first visited American I wanted to leave because the admissions office smelled weird, but my parents made me stay and I ended up applying, and now I’m going there next year.</p>

Didn’t apply to Yale in particular because:
1)see reasons for Not applying to ivy league schools

<p>I didn’t apply to any schools that have the color red in the school colors. My high school had red as a school color and I hated high school. I guess that’s kind of superstition. Actually, when I signed onto the school I’m at now I didn’t realize their accent color was red (black, yellow, red). I’m transferring. (No, not because of the color.)</p>

Hamilton, Colby, Denison, Hobart & William Smith, Kenyon, and Colgate because they’re all free to apply to (she had never visited any of them, wasn’t planning on applying)
Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, and Bowdoin because of the settings, seemed similar to Dart
