First top 5 US universities you think of

Harvard, Brown, Yale, Prinston, Dartmouth - wow and i'm not even from America.
That's what you get from watching a load of American movies

Wow you actually counted all of them... you've got tiiimme

Uh. That's six.

Mine are: Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Brown and MIT. I got an offer from Brown, coincidentally. *sigh*

Harvard is the one you should aim for PERIOD.

Harvard
Yale
MIT
Stanford
Berkeley

Made the list and then realised I have a friend

Why the sigh?

I chose not to accept it in the end because I have a British passport and even though they accepted me based on my IB results, I still would have had to take SATS and get all my immigration forms, moving deets sorted out etc., so there wasn't enough time.

Yeah, big regrets there.

These are the universities that matter:

Harvard - Prestige
Penn - Banker heaven
Stanford - Techy heaven
Princeton - For the truly elite
MIT - gotta love those card counting nerds

And seriously, who wants to do that whole yale thing?
