[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a junior. Overachiever but not intensely so. Just passionate and hardworking. She has a lot of friends who are seniors and very similar to her. They’ve gotten into some amazing colleges over the past few days. I’m talking ivies and other t20. Of course some have not and they are equally brilliant and deserving but this has given me hope in the process. These are just really smart public school kids who work crazy hard. They weren’t starting companies or winning dozens of national awards just getting good grades and doing what they’re passionate about. Just like all the “experts” say is the key even though none of us really buy it. [b]I don’t know a lot of people who went to really fancy colleges but my perception has always been that they’re stuffy and elitist but have a magic to them and provide amazing opportunities.[/b] I’m so proud of these kids who I’ve seen work so hard for so long and are now being rewarded with [b]the opportunity to change the world. [/b]The process worked for them this week :). [/quote]

This is somewhat of a misperception on your part.  It is the kid herself that makes her opportunities -- not the school she attends.    They would each have essentially the same opportunity to "change the world" at non-Ivies and non top-20 schools .[/quote]
