Where else did you apply to?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>Now that applying season is over (I officially completely finished all applications as of 5 hours ago) and all that's left is waiting for admission/rejection (yikes), I thought this would be an appropriate time-frame for this thread. So where did you all apply to?</p>

<p>I went for 5 universities, which might be a bit minimal, but I figured unless it's a top college with generous financial aid I won't be traveling to attend it (I'm not a US student.) So I applied to:</p>

<p>Local college (my safety)
Harvard
MIT
Cornell
McGill (accepted, most likely not going)</p>

<p>How about you guys?</p>

2

<p>In the UK (though probably not going there after Oxford’s rejection):</p>

<p>Oxford (rejected after interview. ouch)
Edinburgh (in)
Warwick (in)
King’s College London (in)
London School of Economics (pending)</p>

<p>All US schools are pending:</p>

<p>Yale SCEA (deferred)
Harvard
have 9 more schools but the rest are secret :)</p>

<p>If I get rejected from all my top schools in the US then I’m going back to my country of origin.</p>

<p>Interesting - no Georgetowns yet. I think of Georgetown as the ideal Harvard back-up: same size, similar setting and local ambience, both have highly-developed political pipelines, and both are two miles from the center of a major Eastern city.</p>

Vanderbilt (likely letter)</p>

<p>Just goes to show that it’s gotten way too easy to apply to these colleges; no wonder these schools have a ****load of applications. Applying to every Ivy - and then UCLA and Miami U? Does that make sense? And for some of you guys how could you have visited all 11 schools? Adding 5 schools to your list right before the deadline? Not sure how that’s even possible unless your high school supports that. Can’t imagine that after a careful search you wouldn’t have a list of 4-5 schools. HYPS as a complete list actually make some sense. Kind of feel sorry for the admissions officers trying to wade through all these apps.</p>
