<p>^^strongly agree with ivyalumni about the OP needing to make a visit.</p>
<p>The feel of the campuses and surroundings are so completely different. If you’re considering other Ivies, also without making a visit, you need to take the tour, OP. They are very distinct, something I hadn’t fully grasped until we drove the loop. What better excuse for a fabulous fall leaf tour? </p>
<p>You are such a strong candidate. Don’t let anyone tell you being a scout patrol leader isn’t a leadership challenge. Managing multiple 12 to 14 year-old-boys on a 50 mile back pack gets my respect.</p>
