[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of people apply to the Ivies and then keep quiet about it. [/quote]

We are only quiet because of the reaction from others.  They ask where your kid is applying and if [b]you mention any ivues or top schools you get weird responses and attitudes.[/b]

We really don’t care about rejection from Ivies.  It’s a lottery.  We will buy the lottery ticket (application fee).  My son exceeds the academic requirements- grades, test scores, great ECs/recs, 5s on all APs, etc. so it’s not personal if rejected.  He understands that and doesn’t have a clear front runner or hopes tied to any particular school which I think is the best way to go about it.

And, of course, he is applying to safeties too.  A mixed list.[/quote]

That's off. When people tell me they're applying to Ivies nothing ever comes to mind.

When people tell me they go/got into an Ivy I think either (1) they're rich (2) took out too many loans and aren't fiscally responsible or (3) poor. But those are just thoughts, not things I say or contort my face to show because I never know which of the 3 it is. [/quote]
