[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a subscriber, but The Atlantic is also running a "hate on the Ivies" piece today.

I read it. The hate on the ivies is misplaced. These schools provide a lot of aid for people up to 200k in some cases, and are often free under 100k income. These schools have over 50% on aid, have much more diversity than  the private schools and most UMC suburban publics. Smart conservative families who have kids who can get in still send their kids to ivies/elite: the three most conservative families from our top private have students at Dartmouth, Penn, WashU,Georgetown. They’d be at ivies if all had gotten in. Parents of these students went to a mix of Duke, UVA , Cambridge, WashU. Other than the dip Harvard had last year, other ivies remain more in demand than ever, with apps increasing. There’s no movement away from Ivy/+ any time in the foreseeable future regardless of what these articles try to spin [/quote]
