Top Choices

Colleges & Universities Stanford University
1

<p>Hey, as we do have a 2 month wait on our hands, I thought I’d open up this thread to chat about colleges to which we have applied/which ones are our top choices…</p>

<p>I live in MN and have thus not visited Stanford, but have heard it is absolutely amazing (and the weather kind of massacres MN/WI weather). Here are my top choices: </p>

<li>Stanford</li>
<li>WashU in St. Louis</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>UW-Madison</li>
<li>UW-Seattle</li>
<li>Duke</li>
</ol>

<p>I would be enthralled if I were accepted at Stanford! Ah!</p>

<p>That’s pretty cool. Everyone seems to like Stanford and Brown on here. Except does anyone have a problem when people ask you for your top choices? I always reply that “I’ll wait till they accept me” with a grin and say I have no “top choice.”</p>

<p>THOUGH, I do have preferences. Hehe, for some reason, preferences have a different definition in my mind than choice.</p>

<ol>
<li>Stanford/Brown</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Berkeley</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>UC Davis</li>
<li>Univ. of Pacific Accel. Pharmacy Program</li>
</ol>

10

<ol>
<li>Stanford, Harvard, Yale</li>
<li>Wherever will cost me the least</li>
</ol>

<p>Crystal, I know what you’re talking about.</p>

<p>I try to tell myself (and those around me) that I don’t have a particular top choice, but I know I do.</p>

<p>That being said, no rankings… Never rankings…</p>

12

<ol>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Middlebury</li>
<li>Kenyon</li>
<li>Hamilton</li>
<li>Bucknell</li>
<li>SUNY Binghamton</li>
<li>St. Lawrence</li>
</ol>

<p>And two safeties, already got in with priority application. </p>

<p>I hate the top choice questions! I always say, whatever school accepts me and offers the best finaid package. Like there’s any question where that would be…</p>

13

<ol>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>UChicago</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Macalester</li>
<li>Emory</li>
</ol>

<p>and two safeties.</p>

<p>I hate saying that Stanford is my #1 because (a) I probably won’t get in and (b) there’s almost no way in hell I’ll be able to afford it. I should probably just say Macalester from now on because almost no one who asks for my list has ever heard of it. But then they just keep asking questions…</p>

<p>:(</p>
