Have you ever dreamed of entering Harvard/Oxford/Cambridge, or are you in? Options

[bonluvdan]

as titled

These are my dreame/ideal universities! haha...
but the probability for me entering either on of them is extremely low = ="

[sw33t_rouge]

people who usually goes to those schools..have to be rich..or they have a sholorship

[BOOGERSHAHA]

yea my parents said i HAVE to make it to an Ivy League School
I'm aiming fo MIT, Princeton, Yale, or Standford at lowest

good luck (and have fun) with that

ps it's stanford. no d in the middle.
yale at the lowest? i thought yale was ranked in the top 3 along with harvard and princeton almost every year. if you want a "low ivy," (do those exist?) try for cornell/dartmouth/brown.

[maryissa]

I have dreamt of it. My dream school would be Harvard, Yale, or Boston. My mom's SDSU(so i could live at home). My friend's dream school Harvard and Princeton and i think Yale.

I have no desire to go to an Ivy League school. I plan to be an elementary teacher, there are plenty of good colleges that aren't Ivy League that I can attend for that. I would much rather be focused on enjoying myself when I'm at college, I don't need bragging rights. Besides, I've had many fabulous teachers that attended a state college of something like that. So it's all good.

Does Julliard count? I'm going there for my third year..

Taylor``

JILLIARD??
I've always dreamed of going to that school for the arts..they're so famous for their talents..

[marzipan]

kind of. i want a job in computers/technology, so i would want to go to a university that best suits my interests. yes, harvard and the other ivy league schools are great, but i'd rather go to a tech university or something.

[Eryi]

All my life I've dreamed of Harvard, but I'd love to apply to Dartmouth.. even more than Harvard.

[innovation]

I'm thinking about the London School of Economics, which is rather prestigious, too...

Wow, I can't believe I actually considered LSE a year ago.

I was Harvard-oriented until last August, when I decided to apply Early Decision to a university that I fell in love with.

[*SayBloodyMary*]

^ I got rejected from The LSE, Mindy = (

Also from Cambridge, although I did get an interview, and through to the second round of applicants after that (Damn school is like 'Smart person Idol,' I swear), so that was nice. My interview feedback basically told me that I was what they wanted, I just didn't quite get a place.

My politics teacher was all 'reapply next year,' because I've been offered an internship with the Institute of Ideas that I could do for a while, but frankly, I lack the will to go through that again.

[chibichi15]

LOL. My dad wanted me to apply to Oxford and then I could live with my cousins in London in the meantime. BUT it didn't quite work out that well. Maybe I'll study abroad. But I would have loved to go to Oxford next year.

sorry about LSE James.

[AngelinaTaylor]

Juilliard and Curtis are in the same league in terms of music. I would love to attend one of the two (Curtis more, though), but so far I have no balls to audition. Maybe for masters degree.

Booo! I still love LSE; the admissions process was just too strange and complicated for an American like moi.

[breakingdawn]

I'd love to go to an Ivy League school. Not so much Harvard, just because it just doesn't appeal to me. And not Yale either because I really don't like the area it's in...at all. And I'd want to leave Connecticut. My dream is Columbia, or Dartmouth or Brown. I'd settle for Cornell or UPenn though.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

settling for upenn? :O but sometimes, that's harder to get into than princeton!

[innovation]

I agree with the above poster. Particularly the Wharton School, which has a lower acceptance rate than Harvard, Princeton, and Yale (8.3% this year). Columbia, Dartmouth, and Brown have very distinct characteristics; the one thing that unites them is brand-name prestige, which is not the primary reason to pursue a university. Don't say that you'd "settle" for an Ivy League university if you don't understand the admissions process or the quality of academics.

<--- Penn/Wharton Class of 2011, by the way.

[Gypsy Eyes]

I've always wanted to go to harvard. I have a scholarship, but it's only for the school of ballet, not the academic section. I'd never get in there.

I didn't mean settle as in settle for a lesser value, I just meant it as it's not my number one or two or three choice. I understand that all the Ivies are equally as competitive and selective, just that some appeal to me more than others. But thanks.

[synthase]

Well, if you're going to study science at Harvard, then I advise you to study somewhere else. Ivy's have low and high points

[jue]

My parents would kill for me to get into one of those schools... Me on the other hand, not so much.

[dumbie]

i hope i can be there sumday.
harvard.
wait foe me.
ahaha.
