[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know many turning down Ivies. I think parents will look for something to make themselves feel good. With 3-5% acceptance rate it’s a choice very few have the luxury of even making. [/quote] This. Everyone I know in DMV (if kid remotely has stats) puts some Ivies on the list as ultra-reach. The conversation is always— kid is going to X—unless they get into an Ivy and then we will pay. [b]Just look at this board and the industry of private counselors aimed at getting kids into an Ivy. It’s a Tiger Mom/Dad’s wet dream. [/b] When they don’t succeed, cue the veiled puppeted responses putting down the schools their kids got rejected from. [/quote] And when they don’t get into one… Cue trashing everyone else and looking for studies for reasons their kid is at second or third choice [/quote]
