Florentina: Were you admitted to all of these schools?

The school that is most likely to help you get into a selective college like an Ivy League university is the one where you are most likely to be happy, thrive, and take fullest advantage of all opportunities.

That is why it is best to know yourself well, understand whether you do better with a lot of structure or a little, a more formal or informal vibe, and what kind of place and environment makes you happiest.

If you are happy and motivated, you will excel and make the most of school… and it those kids who make the most of school, whether that is high school or college, that report the highest levels of success and satisfaction with outcomes.

It is better to thrive, shine, and stand out at a less prestigious school, than to be miserable at a more prestigious one. It all comes down to YOU… NOT the school.

Go where you will be the most inspired, motivated, and happy!

There is NO one-size-fits-all answer to which is the best school.
