| Yes, I applied only to top unis/LACs because I didn't want to leave the country for a not-so-great school. I am not the 'run-as-far-from-Romania-as-possible' kind of person and I think there are plenty of US universities weaker than ours.
The great thing is that I could help a lot of people and made many friends among this process (plusqueparfaite, you are somewhere on the top of this list). |
