[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with this poster.

What does your attending IVY league grad/undergrad (did you get that, wink, wink?) with all your high school friends who did the same thing...purely for "non trophy" reasons really mean?  You seem to be throwing this Ivy league credential crap (undergrad + grad wink, wink) around as if you are proud of this trophy indeed...strutting around "Ivy" (low tier) credentials like some constipated bimbo peacock while somehow attempting to denigrate another who applied to these schools?

The girl in question doesn't give a damn what you think or where (and why) you went to undergrad and grad school.  She really doesn't.  You and your friends that attended both low tier Ivy undergrad and grad schools should get over yourselves.

WTF? Are you drunk?

I only included information about myself when the PP said something about community college. Sorry - I "just" went to lowly Columbia undergrad & grad. And I have friends from all 8 Ivy League schools. I am familiar with these schools - are you?

Given how widely different these schools are these students' motivations for applying to all are pretty clear. Saying that doesn't take away from their accomplishments at all. Certainly they are very talented and are likely to be very successful. Yay - kids who applied to all 8 Ivy League schools just to say that they could. That is why we are all talking about it now. That is what they wanted after all.
