[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor OP, so insecure and miserable that they need to go online picking fights with people and pretending to be Ivies or bust.

Sucks to be you, I guess.[/quote]

Not Ivy or bust at all.  Just saying that private school parents who can’t get their kids into Ivies tell themselves that these schools are great just because they’re private and expensive — but they’re not great.  At all.  Many state flagships are better, certainly the ones around here.  [/quote]

Why can’t you just worry about your own kids? You are insufferable. Everyone isn’t looking to compete with your kid and many choose based on fit, not the “perceived prestige” you are obsessed with.

You really need help. [/quote]

+1. Plenty of public school parents sending their kids to the supposedly Ivy-reject-private-school-parent-cope schools OP disdains. I know because my kid (who had no interest in the Ivies and did not apply) is at one of those schools and their roommate attended public school. [/quote]

I love the “my kid had no interest in the Ivies” posters—what they really mean is that they knew the kid wouldn’t get in.  There is not a kid enrolled in any of the schools on my list who wouldn’t be in an Ivy League school if they could get in.[/quote]

Not true.  There are also plenty of kids at these schools who were WL/Spring start/Soph start at several T25 schools and are attending those in the 30-50 range.  My kid is at one and out of their 20+ friend group, everyone has that for 2+ T25 schools.  Everyone is happy where they are. They had the resume for T25 but didn't win the lottery.  Not difficult to understand with single digit acceptance rates.  
But they are surrounded by very smart, motivated kids who will all excel at life.  You don't have to attend an Ivy to do that.  The next level is filled with very similar students.
