The only school I ever wanted to attend was the University of Pittsburgh so I didn't apply anywhere else. I knew I'd get in because I had good grades and activities in high school and Pitt acceptees basically run the gamut from validictorians to people who get there and can't place out of Algebra.
Looking back, I think it would have been pretty cool to go to the US Naval Academy (not that I had the grades for it) but my husband (who is two years older than me) would have been in his third year there when I was a freshman so it would have been his job to be mean to me so I probably wouldn't have liked him, we wouldn't have gotten married, we wouldn't have our kids....
I think things worked out just fine with me going to Pitt
