Are ivy students more attractive currently than when we were on campus 20-30 years ago?

| Compared to the 80s and 90s, it feels cooler to be a wicked smart overachieving go-getter at my kids' schools. All the overachieving crap got you labeled a dork when us parents were in high school, but now it's social capital. Things like perfect grades, computer coding, student gov, all the leadership and service activities smart kids do. I think Silicon Valley's boom and all the young billionaires has helped a lot in making being an overachieving nerd cool. |

| ^ And also the internet has removed the mystery of the Ivy League. Every kids has access to how to get in, what these colleges are like, social media shows you what kind of kids go there. It makes them much more accessible and approachable to good looking ambitious kids. |

| I was in a sorority at an ivy back in the 90s and eating disorders were rampant. it was a cliché to have a roommate who had been in and out of treatment for anorexia -inpatient and/or outpatient. My anorexic roommate looked like a model of health and beauty and she was from extreme wealth. Outside looks don't tell you much about how someone takes care of herself and wealth does not guarantee good nutrition. |

No, definitely first tier. Girls are much heavier now. |
