| What I am thinking is that you are applying to ivies so that if you do get accepted and enroll you can say you went there. In other words, you want to go to Dartmouth so you can say you went to Dartmouth. This isn't aimed specifically at you, but I get the impression that many people choose their colleges based on prestige instead of what is really best for them. My sister went to USC even though she was the most outstanding student I have ever seen and could definitely get accepted at an ivy league...your education is more important than the name of the school you go to.
