Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where my friends and I all
live in huge, fabulous apartments and go to exclusive single-sex private

by the city's most glamorous people and filled with spicy gossip,
jealousy, betrayal and outrageous behaviour. It's time to fill out our
college applications. Not applying to the Ivy Leagues is not an option,
and not getting into them would be a total embarrassment. But I know a
few girls who aren't going to let the pressure get them down...
