[quote=Anonymous]I just thought about this and in a way this strategy lines up with one of my more intensely held but less popular views about the whole process: high focus on fit/“dream” schools.* The whole point is to come out the other side with a degree and having learned something about the world and oneself while making friends with other future members of the 10%. If you’re hell bent on a top school and it is truly the prestige you’re after, you should be agnostic enough to apply to both Michigan and Georgetown (just to give examples of schools ranked the same). Once all offers are on the table, you can compare and focus on soft factors. I also think more dice rolls helps for merit aid. *I do concede this can matter in specific cases such as needing access to top notch disability services. [/quote]
