I chose Harvard because I liked the liberal arts education it had, and it’s the college I know the most about because of my parents. I want to explore a variety of interests when I go to college.
If you’re referring to U Washington at Seattle, then it’s because of the really low OOS acceptance rate… From what I’ve heard, it’s like 2.6%.
I forgot to include it here, but I’m applying to Rutgers University; that’s my safety school.
