[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at an Ivy. Straight As, lots of friend, club sport, club and so much more relaxed than HS. He was at a private HS. [/quote]

He loves that everyone in his classes are really smart—that is what he said:). Lots of lovely discussions. His friends are all really funny- witty. [/quote]

So happy for your DS! You’ve described our DC’s  dream, including the really smart and fun/funny kids and the club sport.

I’d genuinely love to know which school you’re describing, if you’re willing to share. Not to try to identify your DC (obviously!), but because our DC seems to be dismissing all Ivys because of the general competitive/grind reputation. (Plus what we’ve heard directly from friends’ kids who are currently at Princeton and Penn.)

We’re fine if DC chooses nor to apply to an Ivy, of course. But we also don’t want them to dismiss the whole group of schools based on the reputation and stereotypes (and two kids’ personal experience.) [/quote]
