That’s very true, but MIT is my first choice - it’s been my dream college.
I don’t have a particular desire for any of the other ivies, so it would be difficult to decide which one to REA/ED.
As for my budget, my family earns >150K per year and has saved up a lot of money for college, due to my brother enlisting in the Air Force rather than going to college. I’m extremely lucky to have a lot of freedom and support from my parents.
