Obsessing about Harvard acceptance rates is like obsessing over winning the lottery. Very low odds, stop worrying about it. A key difference between college admissions and the lottery? You can get the exact same payout (career earnings, career achievement) from many different schools. Harvard (and overall HYPSM/Ivy) isn't the only game in town. There are so many better ways students (and their Ivy-obsessed parents) can apply their focus.

True, but I bet you don’t want your kid at Frostburg. Where they go isn’t everything but it isn’t nothing either.
