So...college apps basically don't end when you get to college?

been talking to some friends who are at top HYPSM schools recently, and have been shocked to find out that within each of these hyper-competitive places are even more exclusive clubs and opportunities. <1% exclusive for a cappella groups, consulting clubs, and social groups. Is this actually enjoyable for people? Why is this the culture?

What Ivy is known for what?

If you had to use 2-3 adjectives to describe each Ivy, what would they be and why...

For example, for Yale I think of: Gothic, Humanities, Crime...pretty self explanatory haha

Should Harvard grade cap make me not want to go there (pre-med)?

Just wondering, Harvard's introduced this new grade cap: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2026/04/01/harvard-university-plans-to-delay-its-cap-on-a-grades-for-one-year/

Which will be implemented in a year or so. If I'm a pre-med who needs a 4.0, should this make me less inclined to apply to / prioritize Harvard? Was a dream school, now less so
