How Many Ivy League Schools Should I apply to?

Oh yeah, that’s pretty important. I got rejected from Yale, and it was my first choice. I want to go to medical school and major in some type of biology in undergrad, but want a pretty interesting experience where I will meet a number of people. I’m not applying to them for the heck of it, but I guess that my interests are so big that I haven’t really decided exactly if I want to double major or anything like that. At this point, I’m applying to Harvard because they have the best medical school in the nation, Princeton because, well, I wasn’t really decisive about it, and just applied, but everything except for the applcation has been sent, like transcripts and letters and stuff, but I don’t know if I really want to go there, and then there’s MIT because their biomedical engineering program is incredible, and Columbia because it has an awesome medical school and plus, it’s in New York. I think that I might as well drop Princeton, because I haven’t really been interested, and they can just throw away the other stuff, because it doesn’t really matter. What do you think I should do? Do you think the schools will scold me or be discouraged for applying to more than 3, even though I was already rejected from Yale?
