Acting like getting into or not getting into a particular college makes you special is wicked stupid. College admissions officers have no more ability to judge your worth from a few pieces of paper and an interview than anybody else would, and with those top-tier schools half of getting in is connections. Not acknowledging that is just silliness.

Woooow, you're just getting senioritus now? Everyone I know has had it since junior year. :O I vote we have a nationwide skip for the next month or so.

I know! I wish others would understand that. I thought it was like basic knowledge for applying to those, but I guess it wasn't :/

n_n Thanks, Starry. I like both of them VERY much, but I just felt like the expectations that people had for me and the colleges that I got into didn't correspond for some people (read: my English teacher).

I've pretty much decided on Northwestern. I am doing engineering but, CM's biomedical program isn't as good as Northwestern's and they aren't giving me as much money :/ Plus, their campus is about 45 minutes away from my house so, it's much cheaper than hopping on a plane :D
