Which schools do you regret not applying (or applying) to?

<p>I kind of regret not applying to any ivies–I don’t know if I could have gotten in, but it might have been fun to try. But then again, I don’t want to move to the East coast at all, and don’t really want a big university, so… no. (I did apply to Stanford, though, which is like an ivy…)</p>

<p>I regret not looking into some more woman’s colleges, and occidental, and maybe some more good universities that would give me good money… but that would mean that I’d feel forced to give up my first choice, so… Just the woman’s colleges, I think.</p>

<p>I regret not applying to Bowdoin, Swarthmore, and Princeton. Looking back now, those would have been my top 3 choices. But I’m happy enough with Williams (or Harvard/Yale? PLEASE?) that I won’t bother transferring.</p>

<p>I should have given more careful consideration to Rice and UChicago. I also had all the application stuff ready to go for UPenn and Cornell but never applied because I didn’t want people to think I was ivy-obsessed. I ignored Brown for the same reason. =/ Pretty bad on my part, I guess. If I could go back I would replace Georgetown with a different school and maybe add to another match/reach to my list.</p>

<p>I regret applying to Yale SCEA over Stanford or Chicago, since I found out afterwards that Yale hasn’t accepted anyone from my school in 17 years. The last kid who got in then transferred elsewhere for whatever reason. ._.</p>

<p>i regret not applying to rice, even though i probly wouldn’t have gotten in</p>

<p>i probably shouldn’t have applied to lehigh or rpi… i kinda knew i didn’t like either of them</p>

<p>University of Chicago. Didn’t want to get a math/science teacher rec, didn’t think I had a chance…now all of my decisions have come in, and I only got one rejection. I should’ve tried.</p>

<p>Wesleyan U. Read The Gatekeepers over a year ago, and got intimidated by the process. Ahahaha. ;____;</p>

<p>More higher ranked LACs? Maybe Pomona? I didn’t like Claremont, but I wish applied to more LACs that weren’t in the middle of nowhere.</p>

<p>But now I’m obsessed with U of Chicago…wondering if there’s a possibility of getting in as a transfer. Then I give up and remember I still have some good schools I might have trouble transferring away from.</p>

<p>Oh well.</p>

<p>I regret applying to so many top colleges… The rejection letters that kept flowing in were just painful.</p>

<p>regret not applying to Chicago and Northwestern. wouldn’t have gone anyway because I ended up getting into UPenn and Columbia, but I would have applied if I had more time for apps.</p>

<p>I wished I applied to Caltech and Rice, I don’t even know if I would end up going there, but they are two really cool looking schools.</p>

<p>applying to any school with less than a 15% admit rate. stupid idea. </p>

<p>thank god for Rice’s small applicant pool.</p>

<p>also, applying to the UCs. total waste right there.</p>

<p>EDIT: oh wow, a lot of people regret not applying to rice…</p>

<p>Awww, I’m so glad I applied to Rice…</p>

<p>I’ll add Columbia, UPenn, and Duke. I didn’t apply to many schools because I didn’t have confidence in myself. Then I got two likely letters (Rice and Cornell) and a waitlist from Stanford. I should have given myself more options…</p>

<p>No regrets about the schools I applied to. I gave them my best, even though I received three rejections.</p>

<p>In January after I had sent out my apps I did kind of regret not having applied to Rice because I thought I didn’t include enough matches, but after having received acceptance to Cornell, I am okay with not applying to Rice. I do kind of regret not applying to Harvey Mudd; I think I might’ve liked the Claremonts. Ah well.</p>

<p>I regret not applying to all the great LACs like williams, armherst, and swarthmore. I was never into the small schools though…</p>

<p>I regret applying to so many safety schools (8) and not enough “match” schools (3-5–>depends how you categorize it).</p>

<p>Although I’m happy with where I ended up, I wish I hadn’t applied ED so that I could have compared FA offers. The schools that I would have applied to were Amherst, Grinnell, Duke, Carleton.</p>

<p>Should’ve applied to Oberlin, Swarthmore, Rice, and Reed. Maybe Emory. Shouldn’t have applied to Princeton.</p>

<p>I regret not applying to UPenn, Michigan, USC, Hopkins, Amherst, and Williams. </p>

<p><em>sigh</em> I wish I could could travel back in time and corrects all of my mistakes during high school…</p>

<p>Michigan State, University of Kansas and Oregon. If I did the process over again, I likely would’ve gone to KU or MSU.</p>

<p>Any reason why you’ve would have attended Michigan State University?</p>
