<p>around me, there are definite “swells” in schools. Nobody will apply to school X, then a popular kid will talk up his/her favorite school-and woohla, there’s 80 people from each private school applying…I’m not even exaggerating.</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t want to have my somewhat out of the normal range colleges advertised to such people. Plus, I don’t think it’s their business. </p>
<p>I honestly tell friends and people I know however.</p>
