[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After HYP, i think everything else is both a crap shoot and based on what the kid wants. I would never, for example, think, [b]"Oh, they went to xx Ivy because they didn't get into xx Ivy"[/b]...or if that were the case, I wouldn't interpret it as one being better than the other. It really is such a crap shoot in the decisions process. I would regard all of them as about the same.[/quote]

I would think that when looking at HYP vs the others. Lets be real. Most kids at the other ivies wanted to go to HYP and either applied ED to a lower ivy to maximize their chances so they didn't even apply to HYP or just applied and didn't get in. But I would never think for example that a Brown kid definitely didn't make it to Columbia. [/quote]

Yes, that's why I said "After HYP". At that point, who knows why one accepts and the other doesn't. [/quote]

I think ED is significant.  Each student can only choose to apply early to one and only one ivy league school.  But only HYP are non-binding EA as opposed to binding ED.  THis further skews early applications to those three as they are non binding  and 17 year old are not not ready early in senior year to be sure hwa they want - even among the ivy league choices.[/quote]
