<p>I totally agree with you Sparkle. I think the trick is to find some less selective schools that you are interested in as well. That way you have options, and you aren’t crushed if you don’t get into an ivy.</p>
<p>If there are any fellow Pennsylvanians out there, take a look at Franklin and Marshall. It has a higher acceptance rate, but I found it to be very similar to Princeton. It even has an almost identical residential college system.</p>
