[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never seen a rockstar kid who busted their butt all 4 years shut out from an elite college. The biggest "drop" I've seen are like rockstar kids obsessed with Harvard who end up at Cornell or Chicago.[/quote]

You never saw a Ivy caliber kid end up at the state school, like the honors colleges?

Or an Ivy admitted kid go for a cheaper college?[/quote]

Nope. I've seen Northwestern and Vandy admits end up at UVA, but never an Ivy end up at UVA. I'm sure it happens but infrequent. The cross-admit data out there proves this. Super smart driven kids from upper middle class families (donut hole) don't have their kids randomly fire off $100 apps to Ivies without knowing if they can swing it if admitted.[/quote]

Then you must not live in Virginia.

Loads of high stats kids at our 2 high schools have kids admitted to UVA and at least one Ivy. We know several who decided against paying the $70K/year for the Ivy.[/quote]

Loads huh? :roll: People lie.[/quote]
