[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is class of '91. We have one DC at Swarthmore, and the other was recently accepted ED at Carleton.

As for his classmates who I know, there are a lot whose kids chose Harvard, but off the top of my head I can think of: Cornell, Wesleyan, Colorado College, BC, Columbia, Williams, Hamilton, Colgate, Chicago, Duke, Colby, Lehigh, NYU, UNC, and St. Andrews.[/quote]

I went to one of these schools and when I look at where Harvard and Yale alum kids are going, this list is pretty spot on.

Some of them have super high achieving kids who get into Harvard and Yale, though.

I have to admit, I smile a little when I see the Harvard/Yalies who are arrogant sending their kids to schools like this.[/quote]

I'm the PP, and FWIW neither of my kids had Harvard on their list. The Swattie flat out did not like the vibe, and the Carl is an athletic recruit who was not D1 level and only seriously considered D3 schools so he could play. Academically, both of them would have had a good shot as legacies. Save your schadenfreude for situations that deserve it.[/quote]

sure, sure. touched a nerve, eh?[/quote]
