cakebatter: On 10/2 you started a thread “15+ kids from my school applying ED…help” where you said that Penn is your first choice:



Really looking to consider my odds before throwing away my ED on something that seems pointless. Penn is my first choice, but perhaps I could find another first choice if I look harder.

…Problem is, I am having difficulty finding options that I like just as much as Penn; many I like quite a lot, but none as much as Penn.



So, are you still applying ED to Penn and EA to Michigan? Sounds like you’re one of the Ivy hopefuls using U-M as an alternate. No?
