<p>If you were accepted to all top universities, which one would you attend?
Please give reasons.</p>
<p>All top universities?</p>
<p>Whatever that means, I'm guessing it includes Stanford, so...Stanford :) If you've ever been, you'll know!</p>
<p>Ooo, Oxford. Hopefully I'll make it for grad school someday.</p>
<p>Probably Princeton or Brown.</p>
<p>Harvard !</p>
<p>Princeton.
But Harvard's still a close contention.</p>
<p>yale, even if new haven blows, there's just something too wonderful for words about that school</p>
<p>(also, could someone explain the stanford appeal? perhaps it's just a california bias i've got, but that school makes me want to slit my wrists. My school is a hardcore feeder to stanford, and i've got to say: the caliber of student on that campus isn't want you'd think it is...)</p>
<p>Columbia. New York ROCKS!</p>
<p>And I thought this was the Harvard board, ^^.</p>
<p>It is, people tell themselves they like other places to soften the blow on March 29. Opinions change when a big Harvard envelope arrives.</p>
<p>EXACTLY paulfin. you couldn't be more right. 3 out of 4 people who get into harvard and yale or princeton choose harvard. I guarantee that if you asked them before they were cross admits, however, far less than 75% of them would say harvard was their number 1 choice. a girl I knew a few years ago said u of chicago was her first choice and she wasn't really into the whole ''ivy thing'' as she put it. she ended up being admitted to u of chicago, stanford, harvard and yale....she's a sophomore at harvard now.</p>
<p>Meh, Harvard is one of my lower choices. It's behind Yale and Stanford for me. I can honestly say that I am not trying to "soften the blow" by saying this.
I do try to tell myself I like Princeton to soften the blow of my coming Yale and Stanford rejections :( (even though it's no more likely that I'll get into Princeton).</p>
<p>bleh I'm really into Yale, but I know that if I got into both Harvard and Yale (a super duper big IF) it'd be a hard decision... good thing I'm not counting on getting into either school.</p>
<p>lol Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia is "softening the blow"? ... Those who expect Harvard to hand them the Holy Grail to life are in for a rude awakening.</p>
<p>^Voice of reason</p>
<p>lol, I would give anything to go to Oxford, but my parent's will barely let me out of state, so it was not to soften the blow considering I didn't apply there.</p>
<p>Stanford all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>princeton</p>
<p>harvard just seemed to depressing when i visited</p>
<p>MusicNut07, </p>
<p>i'm english and i live in the states, and let me just tell you that going to oxford for undergrad really isn't that wonderful, harvard, princeton, yale, stanford, columbia etc... are all far better for undergrad than oxford. a lot of my family has gone there (as well as cambridge) and almost all of them have told me the experience was a bit lacking - also you've got to pick a major, and you can only take classes within the dicipline so it's pretty limiting. although, one thing i would say about the price: even as an international student oxford is still only about 10,000? a year for tuition and all expenses, so it's actually a lot cheaper than going to college in the states</p>
<p>Why is Harvard depressing?</p>
