[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BA. My Ivy bound son who has similar credentials is not the smartest kid I know. He is the hardest working and is kind and dependable. Why do u feel the need to be so hostile?  I'm sure your child will do fine. Why do u attack mine?[/quote]  Thank you.  You are also describing my DS to at t.  Tearing down kids who get accepted to these school seems to be a hobby for some people.   [/quote]
You folks just don't get it or are poor at reading. OP is tearing no one down.  Op is raising the issue that there is no room in top school for even above average kids.  That it truly takes exceptionality these days to get into a top school.  And OP is not complaining that their child will not get a good education elsewhere-- another comment repeated that OP Never said!  The OP point is a factual observation, that it is not possible for a highly successful high performing  student to gain a seat at a top school when the competition looks superhuman. And is Op is correct. End of story.  Which is why there is solace to be taken in the fact that we have many great universities in US, not just the ivies.[/quote]
