Getting into an Ivy League school is not terribly important. I think what’s more important is applying to schools you like – schools that fit your known preferences – and can afford.

As long as you are applying to such schools, and at least one of them is an admissions safety, you’ll be ok.

Sometimes it’s hard to look past prestige, but what’re far more important are the quality of your 1) Education and 2) Experience. A great many schools can provide the former; it’s up to you to find those that will best suit you to maximize the latter. (and sometimes you can have a great time even if the fit is not perfect…)
