[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's becoming a cliche' now. Some kids obviously know the "formula" and the Ivies are more likely to admit a URM that meets that formula.

Besides, why would you apply to all eight Ivies anyway, if not to try and make headlines?[/quote]

I would expect that you apply to all 8 because you know competitive colleges admit only a handful of applicants, including highly qualified ones?

I mean, is it not common to apply to more than one college?  Are your kids not doing the same? [/quote]

Eight seems excessive, and it's not like all the Ivies are the same. [/quote]

So what if she applied to all the ivies?  It's her choice which schools she applies to.  Don't most kids now days apply to 10-15 schools anyway.  There are only 8 ivies.  And what do you mean they're not the same?   Are ANY 2 schools "the same"?  These 8 ivies are "the same" in that they're all high caliber school.  Maybe she applied to the 15 top schools.  If your kids had her stats, would you tell them to apply to some lower ranked school?    [/quote]
