Good luck. But realize that there are more than 8 colleges in this country where you can get a top-notch education. If you don't get it, it's not the end of the world. But your father won't love you anymore.

In all seriousness, let me ask you a few questions.
1) what major/field do you plan on going into? In other words, what do you like to do?
2) How much of a concern is money to you?
I see you're living in NJ, so I suppose an esteemed state school (a la UC schools or U. Michigan) isn't an appealing option for you. Depending on what you plan on doing after undergraduate college, your undergraduate college may not really matter. Case in point - my GA (graduate advisor, basically an RA but graduate student) went to University of Wisconsin-Madison, which isn't exactly high up on the list of prestigious colleges. Nevertheless, he's here at the U. of Pennsylvania med school, which is one of the best in the country. Working hard in college is what matters. The name is just a fringe benefit. Don't fret if you don't get in, it's not that big of a deal anyway oh, and Dirigible states the truth. I went over to College Confidential and was amazed that some people didn't get in while I did.

I'm looking at business management. I need an MBA, so you're right, undergrad doesn't matter as much as it is made out to.
2). It's a concern, but not a HUGE concern.
Colege Confidential is just too damn addictive. It can really make a person feel like shit, though. Some kids there are just ridiculous overacheivers.
