Also some more helpful advice. Do NOT go to college for a name. Who really cares if people don’t know about the school. At my school I tell people I would sell my left leg to go to UVA and they look at me like I’m crazy (yes thats a metaphor for the deep love I have for UVA). Don’t pick a school because people know the name because I gaurentee you won’t be happy. 99.9% of the kids at my school hope to get into Tufts because that is where every one applys. I know I love UVA and would go their in a heart beat and people look at me wierd because I’m not dieing to go to Tufts. Pick the college you like best and you will perform best there. In the long run educated people will know about UVA. Who cares if your friends don’t in 20 years at your high school reunion I know they will tell you how lucky you are to have attended such a prestigious school because thats what it is.
