@Lindagaf The reason that I’m concerned with prestige is because I have an older sibling at Duke and another one at Georgetown, and I know that my parents aren’t going to pay for a college that they think is not that great (so somewhere around the ranking of these schools). However, if I get into something that they feel is a good enough school, they won’t have a problem paying. That’s why I was asking about the University of Rochester, as it is a school I am interested in, and was just curious about its standing. I’m surprised that you think of my stats as that awful as while my brother at Georgetown had a 2380 on his SAT, I have the same (actually a little higher) gpa as him and did not really think that I was that unqualified. Trust me my biggest fear is being overconfident during college admissions.
