[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Ivy kid certainly didn't have mommy or daddy's checkbook or any hooks or special prep, private counselors.  He did have perfect grades, scores and lots of activities he was committed to (but they were fairly common--but cleared he loved them).

His roommate is a middle class public school kid (a very, very smart one).

You really shouldn't make judgements.  I had people saying my kid got in on athletics...for a sport he stopped playing freshmen year of HS.  People talk out of their *ss.[/quote]

I am not saying ONLY hooked kids get in. That would be ridiculous. The Ivies wish they had that many billionaire donors.

DC's friend is apparently kind of embarrassed about this. Told DC that everyone will know they are far less qualified than the kids who were flat out rejected in the ED round. And isn't even really that interested in the school, but bowing to what I'm sure is immense family pressure. FWIW my DC told them they should get over it and enjoy. I'm the one who feels annoyed.[/quote]
