[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will tell you what happened to my kid.
He was at a Private t50, athlete. Good but not amazing stats. 1500 SAT, 3.7/4 UW GPA. 
He transferred to Harvard (former coach).

At the Private t50, he was coming along, 3.4 GPA first year…..his first year at Harvard he picked up speed pretty quickly…..no matter what anybody says, iron sharpens iron. Kid is excelling in the classroom. He was pushed by his peers.[/quote]

My 1500, 3.96UW, 8 AP kid is at a T30-40 school.  They are pushed plenty by their peers.  Of their 15-20 person close friend group, literally ALL of them had a WL/Spring Start/Soph start at 1 or more T25 schools.  Most had that for 2+ T25 schools.   My kid is in the hardest Engineering major and has a 3.8GPA after 3 years, doing research on top projects and thriving.  They are surrounded by really smart motivated kids.  There are plenty of those outside the T25 schools.  [/quote]

No doubt, but if you want to go to Harvard, there's nothing wrong with going to Harvard.   There are lots of opportunities at Harvard and you can get a lot of very generous aid at Harvard as well.[/quote]
