| Yale/Yale. Yes, I was very lucky and it changed my life. No, I don’t think I’d get in today. |

hahahaha in the spirit of your comment, I'll go... Wanted Notre Dame... ended up at Catholic University. ahahahah I never had a chance. BUT... CUA gave me an opportunity to study architecture that no other school would have allowed me to try. 30 years later, I've been very successful and enjoyed the fruits of a great education, wonderful campus and lifelong friends. So, there you go! |

smith is my what if? school. They sent me SOOO much stuff in the mail and I still remember the beautiful brochures and such. (BU was another one that sent me mail almost daily) I didn't want a women's college or the cold of MA, but I always wonder what would have happened if I HAD gone that direction. A neighborhood friend has a daughter there now just loving it. And my child wound up at a school in MA, as well (not Smith level, but still - new england) |

| Wanted Northwestern and got in, but couldn’t afford it. Got a full ride to AU and went there. No regrets. |

Sounds amazing. Toured Northampton during an amherst visit and was immediately jealous! |
