Well- Ivies (unless Fall sport athletes) don’t drop off for another week—so there’s that. Classes start after Labor Day.

Not Cornell

I saw a tweed jacket wearing guy with Bernie Sanders stickers on his 25 year old Subaru, drop his kid off at an Ivy and quite firmly gave a 20 second handshake, said good luck boy and left without shedding a single tear.

I can make up stories at drop-off as well.

i saw that guy too - the Bernie sticker was next to the “Test Optional Works” sticker..

Why are you dropping off so early?? And most Ivies are not test optional, even when they were 85% admitted, submitted.

Ivy classes start after Labor Day and move-ins next week so you are both FOS.

we are mega donors we get early move in privileges - think the MAGA pickup driver was too
