[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Good" schools are a status symbol among the kids. Some can't wait to add Yale or Stanford to their FB profile. I guess Harvard, too. [/quote] Haha. Harvard not so much, according to my senior at a top area program who just got accepted at a different Ivy. My kid says that if you tell others you are applying to Harvard, they roll their eyes at you and think you're a status seeker, or that you have some hook you're exploiting because regular kids don't get into Harvard on pure merit (or so the perception goes). DC refused to apply there but got into an Ivy that accepts only about 1 percent more applicants. Now you're absolutely correct about the status value of Yale, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia and Brown, at least at DC's school.[/quote] Nice of you to prey on OP's concerns by bragging. Very helpful.[/quote]
