[quote=Anonymous]mostly luck, and it is honestly not a big deal in the long term whether you end up at HYPS or another ivy or ivy-equivalent (I hate when people use the word lower to refer to the other elites). The only difference it will make is to really boost your ego because average people and extended family members will instantly be impressed by HYPS. Why does this even matter really? The elite boarding and prep school crowd that frequents forums like this and CC have a HYPS or bust mentality which is frankly pointless and unhealthy. Sure try for HYPS, but it is absurd to feel insecure if you don't make it there but instead make it to one of the other elite schools. I get that super-competitive and ambitious people find it hard not to get their top choice(s) but this is life. You need to keep things in perspective and realize how lucky you are to be attending an ivy or similarly elite school.[/quote]
