[quote=Anonymous]I teach at an International School in Europe and almost every European senior applied to Harvard, Penn, and Yale this year. Only a few of them have a prayer of a chance of getting in, but their parents are all convinced that being "able to pay" is going to get their kids in, and that these are the only schools worth applying to in the US (the other day, a parent told me that "there aren't many other schools in America anyway." The Eastern European kids have to be prevented from putting the fact that their father will pay full tuition to an Ivy into their Common App essays. Most of them are also applying to the schools our guidance counselor knows they have a shot of getting into, but the kids and their parents usually have to be persuaded that applying to other schools is a good idea. The American kids are more realistic. [/quote]
