Ugh... one of the times I get frustrated with Lorelei is her tunnel vision toward Harvard. While Richard TOTALLY went about it wrong, everything he said was right. In the States, it's unusual to apply to only one school. I applied to 6! However, having lived in Connecticut, I can say I LOL for real at their jabs and jokes toward New Haven, because that is the prevailing attitude! (And being in Cambridge is better than being in New Haven, just sayin'! LOL)
