In Reply To: Thanks for the support, stepson. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I agree with you that it's (almost) always worth applying to the top 3 if you're anywhere near the numbers, which I am. But the way I look at it, if I somehow miraculously got into Yale, I would almost certainly get into Columbia. And I'd rather go to Columbia than Yale (gasp!), mainly because my significant other and I will be moving together and she has little reason to move to New Haven (who does?) and plenty of reasons to move to New York. So really what's the point in applying to Yale if I know I don't want to got there? The same holds for Stanford. Anyway, thanks again for the positive words. It's a sad testimony on the whole process that my 98th percentile score felt like a disappointment. I guess "perspective" has already been thrown out the window, only to get further distorted in the future.
Message: I know people who got into one of the HYS and not Columbia, uncommon but it happens. Sounds like you know where you want to be. I hope you get there. Good Luck
