No not close enough because it's on the other side of the country! The Ivy League is a sports league... There are at least 10 Universities/Colleges in the US that are just as academically prestigious if not more than the Ivy League. Stanford, MIT, Amherst College, Williams College, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, JHU, UofChicago just to name a few.

I got in to Penn too off of the wait list... I didn't have much desire to go there.

Then explain to me why I got $15,000 from UPenn even though both of my parents are retired and have almost no income, but got $50,000 from Villanova (who technically doesn't "meet 100% need").

Good luck!! make sure you have something that sets you apart from all the other kids who apply here. I would definitely suggest taking advantage of the option to link a website to your application or sending in supplementary materials. I didn't have the most amazing test scores or anything, but I wrote about how important skiing is to me and basically made up a senior design project (http://www.valerieandersen-buildingskis.com/) so that I would stand out. I should probably get off newschoolers and study now.....enjoy how easy senior year is!

that was me, i didn't mean its like that at all of them. I know for a fact its like that at Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth. But maybe i know for a fact about the majors my friends were in. could be different for different majors. Dartmouth though does allow you to choose you grade for one class a semester. How that works is lets say you arent good at math and you are taking a calc class. You go ok im going to get an A in this class if you dont they just give you a PASS.. shits nuts that they can do that haha.

what do you want to do?? They all offer something that is better than the others. Obviously if you want to do something with technology you should definitely make MIT you number 1 choice.

This. Besides the fact I'm not going for free. I go to a small private college called Hobart in North Western NY which costs 56 grand a year. A bunch of my friends here turned down offers from Dartmouth, Yale, Cornell, Bowdoin, Bates, and others to go here. The classes here are ridiculously hard. I have at least 4-5 hours of reading each night + any papers due + any outlines/ assignments due the next day. At the beginning of most of my classes I have "pop" quizzes, so if I don't know each and every detail of the 5 hours of reading, I'll get a failing grade for participation that day, which ends up being almost half the semester grade. I have had a couple of my teachers straight up tell me they usually dont give out A's. I'm working my ass off every night getting C+/ B- on papers and exams I negate almost my entire social life for.

All my friends back home who go to USM or UMAINE Orono have half as much work and have much higher GPA's then me as of now.

And I dont know what I want to major in yet... so I'm not sure about grade school.

so you should be smoking pot and selling it to figure out how much money can be made selling and how little health risks come from smoking it?

I'm sure employers on the East Coast prefer Ivy League graduates, but on the west coast nobody really gives a shit if you went to an Ivy League school or a community college.

well I've heard lots say it, people wearing shirts and what not. But in my mind if want a reputation comparing yourself to another institution means your standards are already low. You will always be one step behind.

no doubt mcgill isn't the same caliber as harvard, but it's still a decent school.

oh I agree. In general all schools in Canada are good. I just find it funny how people at McGill assume they are a better school when the difference in education is no different than for example UBC, UofT or UofA.(not hating bro, I know you said that comment for humours sake).

 The difference is the better schools in Canada are public where as its the opposite in the US. I've been told its similar to ivy league quality in education, but i really can't speak on that. I'd assume the best American school are better than Canadian schools, but the average Canadian school has a higher standard of education for a fraction of the price each their own though right/
