I think that once you STOP reading things like the Top 50 Business Insider lists and START thinking about why you are applying, what you want in a school, and who you really are, you’ll know what to look for in a potential school.

Right now it looks like you are only looking for prestige.

Yes, it makes sense to only go to a school that offers more than your current one, but that doesn’t mean that only the pressure cookers with low admit rates are the only ones to consider.

1. What kind of student are you? Not just grades, but learning style.

2. What ECs do you currently have. What ECs would you want to continue?

3. What would be your ideal home? What level of rules can you stand? (Hey, you’ll be living there.)

Look at the schools virtual tours, profiles of students/teachers, shows, instagram, etc.

So much about the application process is about “fit”. A non-pressure cooker can offer a high quality education, and reading between the lines, that might be you.
