[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a really specific answer for OP, based on the 19-21-year0old children of friends, <--- ALL of whom graduated from an Ivy undergrad in the 80s:

Rice
Tufts
Wash U
UCLA
Vanderbilt
U. Chicago
Brown
Amherst
Lafayette[/quote]

This list is in line with my experience. Also:

Williams
Bowdoin
Duke
NYU
BC
Georgetown
Colby 
Davidson

I know kids of dual Ivy grads who are matriculating at:

Syracuse
Bucknell
Penn State
Oregon

Once you miss the legacy spot you're in the pool with the masses and it can be a total crap shoot.

Did those dual Ivy grads kids’ have smart grandparents?

The above could be just mean reversion — ie dual Ivy grad mom and dad were the outliers and kids reverting back to the long run family level [/quote]
Yes and just because a kid has two smart parents who got into selective schools decades ago means nothing about how hard the kid has worked in school even if highly able. Weird assumptions here. Even with the acknowledgment that ivy’s etc used to have a 20 percent admit rate The kid at Oregon today would likely not have gotten into an Ivy type school 30 years ago either, big jump between these types of schools.[/quote]
