<p>That’s funny, because the schools I originally wanted to attend were Yale and U of M. Once I realized that the first was too preppy for my tastes, and the latter wouldn’t give me financial aid, I dropped them from my list.</p>
<p>Although I’d heard of Dartmouth (I originally thought it was in Nova Scotia!), I never knew anything about the school until I filled out a college search thingie and Dartmouth came up as the closest match. After I looked into it, I realized it was the perfect school for me. Likewise, I never knew anything about Notre Dame except that they were big on football, and my grandpa was (and is) a huge fan.</p>
<p>Today I got Case’s financial aid–I’d pay less going to Dartmouth. I guess that’s in then for Case.</p>
