This is actually helping me sort out my thoughts too

I agree, Cal or Tufts (not that there's anything wrong with the other schools). Get on the waitlist for Princeton. What do you want to major in? That can be a big deciding factor.

I'm technically going in Undeclared, but I'm definitely favoring English or History. However, both are so broad! My main strategy in applying was to find really solid liberal arts programs...

have you visited tufts?

[conformityblows]

no! Still debating that with my parents...I have been to Boston, but we didn't actually tour the campus. Tis a conundrum.

Come visit Tufts. We can hang out and I'll show you how awesome Boston is, but it won't really matter when choosing, because if you go to Tufts you'll never come to Boston.

I would love to come just to see you! But Tufts students don't go to Boston?!?!?! What's wrong with them?!?!?!

[the_loebster]

They suck. Well, mostly Tufts is kind of far away, like 30 minutes on the T, and there's stuff around Tufts anyway, so they rarely come into the city itself unless they have reason to.

Meh, I still don't think that's a great excuse. Haha but thanks for the info! I will definitely keep in touch about the potential drop into Boston.

congratulations! i won't give you advice because i think it's really based on you. buttt the one question i would check with your parents before going too far away is when you get to come home =) CONGRATULATIONS all your stress, sweat, and hard work is paying off!

oh, and get on that waiting list for sure... it's PRINCETON.

Thanks so much Sinead! And you are definitely right, I am already feeling that being closer to S.P. would be a bonus.

Hahaha it's true. Princeton waitlisted ME? OH HAPPY DAY!!! :-P
