It was my #1 but I guess it was a more realistic #1 than a dream school. I just thought about what I wanted in a school. I don’t want to go to a school where I will be a below average student so I applied to Northwestern early instead of somewhere like Princeton(where I have legacy and had a good shot to get into) where I wouldn’t be able to stand out. It just made the most sense. In that way, it is the perfect school for me, even though not my dream school
