[quote=Anonymous]Is it all that competitive? Yes. Does it matter? No, not really. I agree with you that people can become happy and successful despite (because of?) not following the Ivy path. However, I would say that many parents who pay a bundle for private secondary school are not doing it to get into college; they are doing it because that particular school provides a better environment and overall educational experience for their kid. I say this as someone who is likely to send my kids to private middle/high schools, and then University of Maryland! As far as I'm concerned the point is not to go to an Ivy League school -- the point is to become an educated person and a lifelong learner.[/quote]
