Forget about March Madness. Parents and high school students across the country are nervously awaiting acceptance, rejection and financial aid letters from top college choices.

Princeton Review surveyed over 10,000 students and parents to find out from which "dream colleges" students and parents would most like to see an acceptance letter. Princeton Review asked parents and students which dream college they would choose if acceptance and cost weren't issues.

Students and parents choices varied slightly, mostly in the order of top choices as well as some of the lower schools in the top 10.

Princeton Review reports on other findings from parents and students:

• 61 percent report feeling high levels of stress because of college applications
• 84 percent claim that financial aid will be "very necessary"
• 71 percent except a degree to cost more than $75,000
• Factors that determine the college students choose include: best overall fit, best for future career interests, most affordable, best academics
• Greatest worries: will get into first-choice school but won't have sufficient funds, will take on major loan debt, won't get into first-choice college, will regret chosen college
