Did your school counselor tell you NOT to apply to a "dream" college?

<p>The funny thing about our school is that they have sort of class warfare. The top students are given a royal treatment and are told that they will get into any U they want to from Harvard to MIT to Stanford. While for other average students they are told that the best college in our state (which is a very good U) will be an extreme reach and told them to apply to a little easier school. This type of elitism is horrible!</p>
