[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD going to what is regarded as a strong local private next year in 9th Grade. Goal is Ivy League. What do I need to do/know starting now. Is the college coach type thing worth it? They charge 10-15K for one kid. [/quote] If you waited until 9th grade to groom for Ivy, you are too late. [/quote] Correct. Top students have a lottery-type chance at the Ivy League, since these colleges routinely turn down perfect SAT scorers and stellar national-level awardees and athletes. 10-15K for a college "educational strategist" is nothing. The best ones cost 40K. Your child's chance increases significantly if she is a legacy in good standing or a development case, meaning that you are prepared to set your name to a building. 5M minimum, not your run-of-the-mill 10K annual alum donation. It looks like you have really no idea what it takes, my poor dear.[/quote]
