I'm curious to see how other highschoolers feel about the idea of applying to top tier schools in the future. I have friends who range from wanting to go to the university five minutes from their house to friends that want to apply to Harvard, and that has nothing to do with their capabilities. I mean, a lot of us still have years to think about it, but it's cool to stop and think about where we envision ourselves going to school.
I personally think that it would be in my best interest to consider all of the possibilities and apply according to my interests. If that's at a top tier school, that's great, but just as well to me if it's at UCF or UF. I'll still probably apply to UChicago, Stanford, and Harvard. I don't like the opinion that the only schools worth going to are the ones that have a 5% acceptance rate though, haha.
