Ivy shills here are as convincing as the dorks repeating chants at Columbia. |
Que the "sorry your kid didn't get in" loser in 3...2...1 |
You mean “cue”? Moron. |
Yale gave us a lot more money than Davidson , Michigan, and wash u. Sorry, not paying more NOT to send my kid there. |
But we are sorry your kid didn't get in. |
Well Affirmative action was ousted and they are bringing back scores. |
So NYC doesn’t qualify? Please, send us your list of Top 10 cities worth a crap for us to critique. |
you are wrong about afffirm action. Both my slac and law school (and all other institutions i kniw iif) sent out letters post scotus devision about oledge to diversity. the battle has just moved from a box to a more sleight-of-hand expansion in the essay. Roberts said that was ok so thats now where students talk about race etc |
For those who need FA, ivy FA is better than 2nd tier FA. I couldn't afford WashU, Rice, USC, Vandy, Emory, Duke, NU, NYU... As good as the 2nd tier schools are, no reason to pay more for them than ivies. Choosing an affordable ivy plus school on small savings and cash flow over 2nd tier schools didn't ruin my kid's life. |
Yes but the URM kids getting in this year everywhere are not the ones whose parents are both bankers and doctors, but rather the first generation kids whose dad is the janitor at the private school. There’s been a big shift. And at least at our private a lot of white and Asian kids are having stellar results because of it. |
You are wrong. Law schools now only care about GPa and LSAT. Period (ok first generation and URM too). They don't give a fig about where your kid went do and you get no boost? Why? because the stats used to be sent by all law schools to USNWR. Since USNWR valued highly GPA and test scores those schools who could prove high stats on both were rewarded with a higher ranking |
You are very naive about what is and what is not going on. The Viet nam protests were not violent (with the exception of Kent State) and did not involve anti-semitism! And, no that's "not what students do". Have you not seen the outtakes about the incredibly hateful/death threats that the anti-palestinian groups are using? |
Law schools do care just about GPA and LSAT, but a 4.0 from a top college is probably worth a bit more than a 4.0 at a lower-ranked school, absent other personal considerations. |
False as a generalization. Ivies don't offer much merit or financial aid because they don't have. Also the Ivy institutin doesn't control the process for 90% of the time. In inorder get the composition of incoming class right (in their social engineering view). Harvard, for example, does NOT give great merit. Now what the Ivies DO offer is some great scholarships if household income is very low. Go look it up. It's so low that it's irrelevant for most posters here. Finally, re Ivy financial aid, the Ivies have no choice in how the applicant is assessed via CSS or so have little autonomy, which OP seems to think they do. Those in the know rely on on collegeconfidential or reddit. |
Me? I wasn't even alive then. Go to politics. Stop being nasty here |
