well, staticsoliloquy, i know that you can probably get into most colleges in US without much problem, with exceptions of Harvard, Yale, Princeton.

we are not angry because you said you didn’t like williams college. Most williams acceptees all visit the campus before (90%+ according to the adcoms). We apply & enroll because isolation, small city scape, and mountian views appeal to us.

However, saying that certain school is your safety is not prudent… especially to schools of high caliber. Whether it is a fact or not isn’t a concern… the important thing is that it is rude to do so, and people hate it (Do that to JHU or Cornell board, and you will feel much bigger hatred).

CNCM has a valid point… schools like HYP will not tolerate such attitude (Personal quality is considered as much as SAT, ECs, Talents, School records)… you better not show such attidude infront of interviews. (But I am sure you are smart enough to know that)
