Have you & your parents toured the Ivies? We did Harvard & Brown and the difference was astounding. Brown was all about what it was like, the pass/fail options for taking crazy/hard classes outside your major interest, curriculum flexibility, etc. Very impressive. Harvard was “we’re Harvard. Our endowment is huge. Our libraries are huge.”

That said, what you should be doing is talking to your parents about what you want, what you are looking for, etc. However, they are still going to be in control if they want to be. Yale would be awesome as well, but for different reasons.
