[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a prep school and everyone was expected to go to a really good college. A number of my friends ended up in the Ivy League and ALL of them said that the hardest part was getting into the school. None of them worked as hard in college as they did in high school, so you may want to tell him that it's a false choice. I went to a good, but not Ivy-level school and my friends confirmed that I worked harder in college than they did. They got time to pursue life and extracurriculars and got the Ivy diploma. I am by no means arguing that he should go to a "top" school if he doesn't want to. I'm just saying that the work load if he gets in may surprise him.[/quote] My nephew said just the opposite. He graduated Ivy league and said he had to work his butt off. That it was 100x more difficult than high school, and getting in was the easy part. Maintaining his GPA and merit aid was a lot of work.
