<p>I applied to only one college (where I knew I would be accepted because I was recruited).</p>
<p>I applied to three law schools that I had heard were good–Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and U.Va., the last of which I attended. I was wait listed at Harvard and accepted to the other two. I had no idea at the time that that was a pretty good result! The Ivy League meant nothing to me then.</p>
