| Most Popular Dream Schools
Around the people that you typically associate with, what schools do you perceive to be the most popular, the schools that everyone would want to go to regardless of admission or financial barriers?
I'll start with two schools:
University of Pennsylvania
University of Notre Dame

Yale, I live in CT.
Also many want to go to UNC Chapel Hill, over 20% of my class applied. Reallly odd

Princeton is a big one near me, since I live in NJ.
Usually if you live in the same state/area as an Ivy, the big dream school will be that Ivy. At least I would think.

University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Northwestern, University of Chicago, and Cornell are the usual popular ones because most of the kids at my school end up going to them.

At my school Yale and Columbia are the most popular US dream schools.
I go to an international school, so about half the student body ends up in the UK...the most popular dream schools over there are Imperial and King's

I live in VA, and basically everyone is dying to get into UVA, despite my fairly large school (500ish kids per grade) only sends about 10ish kids to UVA a year. Another popular option is George Mason University, since it's really close and a lot of kids go there so they don't have to pay for housing.
Other schools that are pretty popular here are CNU, JMU, and VCU.

Here in SoCal, Stanford (it seems like this is everybody's dream school at my HS), USC, UCLA, and Berkeley are the most popular. HYP, Columbia, and NYU seem pretty popular too. I think these schools are all common dream schools across the country, though.
