[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody grows up from kindergarten I want to go to Chicago or Northwestern. Or even Amherst or Williams or Pomona.  They are forced into it.  They dream about going to Ivies.  Only exception is somebody who may have grown up as a Duke or Georgetown basketball fan.  [/quote]

I strongly disagree with this post among legacy kids. Notre Dame is another elite school a lot of people dream about attending, and the football program does have something to add there.

I also don't think unhooked people dream about going to most of the Ivy League schools either. Stanford and HYP I can certainly believe. It was very odd seeing all of the tour busses visiting Stanford and I got a similar impression visiting Harvard myself too. [/quote]

Absolutely agree with this. On the flip side, I don’t know a single soul who dreams of going to schools like UPenn (state school?) or Dartmouth from a young age.[/quote]

No but they do dream of going to an Ivy League. They quickly learn which are ivies.  [/quote]

Nah, I don’t know any kindergarteners who know all 8 Ivy League schools. You’re not helping your case. Must suck to be a no-name Ivy League school that has to ride the coattails of Harvard, Yale and Princeton![/quote]

Sorry Junior didn't make the cut.  [/quote]
