Dear Senior,
You are without doubt applying to schools with a name. For example, Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth, Duke, UC Berkeley, etc... As magical as these schools sound, students often find that these schools are actually not the best fit for them. Thus, if you have the time and money, I highly recommend you visit the schools you are considering BEFORE you send in your application. That will save you from having to choose between schools that you will not be happy at before it's almost decision time. Filter before you apply, that way when you apply to a list of schools, you'd be happy to go to any of them, even safeties.
Best of luck,
-The Online Counselor
