<p>“it would not be a good academic match for me.”</p>
<p>I don’t understand…UT is a fantastic school with top notch programs.</p>
<p>What I would recommend to you is to understand whether YOU feel like a school is a right FIT for you. You want to be in a place where you are comfortable and can grow academcially, but also socially and culturally. Pick a school beyond just prestige and “academic elitness.” Of course you are going to college for an education, but don’t forget that you won’t be spending your entire four years straight with your nose in a book. I don’t understand the hype with ivy league schools. Go where you feel is right for you, not what is considered the “absolute best.”</p>
<p>Where do you see yourself?</p>
