<p>Done...until Rice</p>
<p>Yayyy jon! I'm still working on Princeton...and then toying with Harvard.</p>
<p>OH MISS ZANNA YOU BETTER APPLY TO HARVARD WITH ME!</p>
<p>whoah, that sounds like a threat :)
omz, I think you'd better do what she says!</p>
<p>Haha I do sound rather intimidating with my all-caps order.</p>
<p>yeah, apply to harvard so you can turn them down for princeton :D</p>
<p>good idea, fairygirl143</p>
<p>Haha I think you just took on a new nickname kraor/fairygirl.</p>
<p>And your idea is spectacular - together OMZ and I and everybody else on this board are going to turn down Harvard for Princeton.</p>
<p>j07, i would love for the people on this board to decrease harvard's yield rate and raise Princeton's!</p>
<p>hahaha thanks for the nickname!! no more pronoun confusion for me!</p>
<p>yay for turning down harvard! i actually don't feel too much antipathy towards harvard (i'm sure that will change next year).... the only reason i wouldn't have applied there is because all the pics i've seen of it showed brick buildings, and i'm obsessed with stone (aka gorgeous gothic buildings at princeton). yeah, i was being very superficial with my choice of apps to fill out. i also went by the name of the college and by the # of essays they required lol. i'm glad i didn't have to do any deeper consideration to figure out better reasons to apply/not apply. princeton was the only one i knew i loved NON superficially!</p>
<p>plus the focus on undergrad...that was big for me anyway.</p>
<p>yep that was important to me too. and the undergrad research and everything. and its safe but not-completely-rural location & proximity to NYC. princeton is a perfect size too. size is actually more of a problem than i thought. a ton of my friends are having problems choosing colleges based on size- many are way too small (davidson, for example) while others are huge. a lot of people don't want to go somewhere smaller than their high school, but a school with too many students seems impersonal and more suited for graduate school, perhaps.</p>
<p>yea princeton is definitly the perfect size and in the perfect location. both factors for me as well.</p>
<p>Ahhh, you guys are reminding me of how much I love Princeton and now I am having even more trouble choosing my stupid favorite word!!</p>
<p>Not really -- well, kind of. Basically I love Princeton too. Yall are lucky.</p>
<p>best of luck j07! you'll feel so relieved once you finally press "send" on the app!</p>
