[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good, solid, high-ranking schools are where if you have certain stats and $$$$, you can pretty much predict your chances.  Elite schools, on the other hand, are crapshoot schools where you have the stats and $$$$$, but you are still not a shoo in. [/quote]

[b]Apparently at Lafayette you can’t do that. There were full pay 1580+ kids rejected last year.[/b] [/quote]

Obviously yield protection. Those kids weren't going to go there even if accepted.[/quote]

They give full tuition scholarships. [/quote]

If a student is full ride at Lafayette or full pay at ivy, s/he might choose ivy. In fact, at top ivys, most students have turned down full ride options at lesser schools. For those flushed with cash, I can easily imagine their paying full tuition for top ivies. [/quote]

Your complete lack of factual knowledge never seems to stop you from posting your utterly worthless opinions.  And i immediately dismiss anybody that uses the term “top ivy” as an ignorant imbecile.  Why do you even haunt this forum? Based on your grammar and diction it doesn’t appear that you even graduated from college.[/quote]

You obviously went to Cornell and can only afford Lafayette now. [/quote]
