<p>I think it is a little unwarranted to immediately say that somebody who applied to all the ivies hasn’t researched where they want to go to school at all. All of the ivies are great schools and each has a very high quality of life, and while they may be very different, it is possible for somebody to like all of them for different reasons. I was absolutely completely torn between whether I wanted to apply ED to Brown or Columbia, which might be the two most polar opposite ivies, but I liked them both a huge amount for different reasons. I think the reasons people might be drawn to Columbia’s core curriculum can be similar to the reasons people are drawn to Brown’s open curriculum, as in the desire to have a well rounded education, breadth and depth, etc. Regular decision I am applying to all of the ivies except HYP (because I don’t think I can get and it would be a waste of time) and not just because they are prestigious but because I genuinely like all of them and would love to go to school at any of them.</p>
<p>Also I had a friend who last year got into all 8 ivies. She is currently going to Stanford lol.</p>
