<p>I was accepted to Yale Early Action and still applied to Harvard and Princeton. Although I thought my first choice was Yale and I intend to go there, my parents wanted me to still keep my application in at H and P to keep my options open. Should I get into Harvard or Princeton and choose not to go, I am not taking anybody else’s spot. If you are qualified to get in, then you will. I have no obligation to others around the country hoping to go to Harvard, Yale or Princeton and I am not going to limit my opportunities because someone across the country thinks I am taking their spot.</p>
