thank you for your responses! yeah i don’t actually intend to apply to 20 schools, my list is more like 9, but i wanted to see how i would place overall. as it stands now, to answer faustarp’s question, cornell is my top choice for several reasons. one, as shallow as it may seem, i loved the campus, just absolutely fell in love. also, it just “felt right”. currently however, i’m having trouble deciding between cornell and colgate because i recently visited colgate and was very impressed. cornell might be too big, and colgate might be too small. also, cornell would probably have the more prestigious name, considering it being in the ivy league. yes, that shouldnt matter, but i’m brown, and it matters to brown parents haha…hopefully i’ll know more in a couple months but any advice would be much appreciated!
