[quote=Anonymous]Some kids have a sort of reverse-snobbery towards HYP. Mine was one, and DC wasn't alone among her classmates in this. DC flat out refused to apply to HYP. We drove past them on I-95 and DH and I kept making noises about how we could just get off at the exit and drive through these campuses (too late to sign up for tours), but no dice. Harvard was worse - after seeing Tufts, BU and BC, we stopped by Harvard Square for dinner and tourism, and DC had no interest in walking over 2 blocks to lay eyes on the Yard. It will work out. To our surprise, DC fell in love with a different college that takes 6-7% of applicants -- and got in.[/quote]
