I applied to a lot of schools.
I got into about 2/3.
1/3 were schools I would not consider but gave generous financial aid: Denison, St. John's in Minnesota, Washington College in MD, etc.
Another 1/3 were a very diverse group of schools which also gave generous financial aid: Georgetown, George Washington, Hampshire College
I did not get into any Ivies or any college in the state of New York: Columbia, NYU, Vassar, wait-listed at Sarah Lawrence, etc.
I did not know what kind of college would be best for me and in the end it was between Georgetown and Hampshire College. The aid was better at Georgetown. I also had a phenomenal time at the open house weekend.
I wish I could remember the complete list of schools I got into.
