[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, that's just rich people cope.[/quote] Are the very top students at Big 3 schools not getting into Ivy League schools?[/quote] A few do. Most don’t. It is absolutely not a guarantee. So if that is the reason you want to go, you may be disappointed in the outcome. [/quote] Not our experience with 2 kids at 2 different Big3 schools in the past 2 years. If you are top10 in the class then an Ivy is almost a guarantee. This is where attending a Big3 can be an advantage over public. At a public there is a far greater percentage of kids at the top of the class and these kids' college admissions are sorted by their extracurriculars, random chance, etc. Some get an Ivy or other top20 spot, some do not. That all said, it's incredibly hard to be top10 in a Big3 class. [/quote]
