My dream school is Babson College because of its experiential learning opportunities, strong alumni network, and the entrepreneurial culture there that you can't really find anywhere else. All the students there are creative, hardworking, sociable, and confident (they're leaders). It's a networkers heaven being able to meet 2000 future executives. I would love to have a white Babson long sleeve shirt with green font!

My dream school is Columbia University because I’ve always loved the city culture as well as the oasis that is the campus. It’s quality of education also allows for you to not only become a more informed/prepared person, but a developed, in depth understanding of the world around you through the iconic Core Curriculum and it’s diverse range of colleges. - Columbia Long Sleeve S

My dream school is, coincidentally, Caltech. I would like to attend Caltech due to the almost unbeatable research opportunities that it offers as an undergrad, almost giving it's undergrads a sort of grad-like experience. As well as it's community from what I have seen, which seems focused on a love for STEM related fields/subjects thus making it a great place to be open with my own love for math and theoretical computer science. I would like a Caltech t-shirt if possible.
